Election of New IPPA Executive Committee
Dear all,
First, I would like to thank all those who have nominated individuals as potential members of the IPPA Executive Committee, and those who have agreed to stand for election to membership.
We had a good response for nominations. We had two nominations for Oceania, 3 for East (Northeast) Asia, 6 for Southeast Asia and a further 3 for South Asia. The IPPA Executive will consist of two members from each region.
As Oceania has only two nominees, they will be automatically included in the Executive (the names will be announced with the rest of the Executive Committee following the voting).
You, the IPPA members now have the opportunity to choose the executive members for the regions of East, Southeast and South Asia. The attached pdf contains a short biography for each of the nominated candidates.
The link below will take you to a short election form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdb9vBxzbtmqeN6BWe6GzUUEza8TWQg_bKszU5EaOzOqMDnQg/viewform
Please select TWO individuals from each region. Once you have made your selection please press submit and the form will be returned to IPPA.
NOTE: If you cannot access the form or it won’t work then please send an email with your chosen candidates to this address: secgen@ippasecretariat.org
I will not reveal the individual votes for each of the nominees but simply announce the selected candidates at the end of March 2019.
Please take the opportunity to have your vote. The selected candidates will represent you and your region on the IPPA Executive Committee for the next 8 years.
yours

OPPORTUNITIES
Postdoctoral Scholar Program, Academia Sinica
The Academia Sinica in Taiwan is starting the 2021 Postdoctoral Scholar Program application. The deadline is 21 September 2020. The successful applicant is aimed to start the 2-year postdoc program from January 2021.
The application procedure is online (http://db3n2u.sinica.edu.tw/~textdb/program). The applicant requires to
(1) submit a research proposal within 10 pages,
(2) provide 3 referees,
(3) find a Sponsoring Mentor (supervisor/PI) in Academia Sinica.
For contacting the potential Sponsoring Mentor specialised in archaeology, please refer to the faculty page of the Institute of History and Philology in Academia Sinica. https://www2.ihp.sinica.edu.tw/en/staff1.php?TM=3&M=1&D=
For more details and review criteria, please refer to the online application system.
Postdocs at the Department of Archaeogenetics, Max Planck Institute
The Department of Archaeogenetics at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, is generally seeking qualified applicants to consider to Postdoc positions in Population Genetics (E13 100%) for up to four years.
The overarching research topic in the department of Archaeogenetics is the use of novel scientific approaches from high throughput sequencing of ancient DNA from human populations and their pathogens to explore research questions related to human history, gene-culture coevolution, and adaptation to infectious disease.
We are generally seeking qualified candidates to analyse human genomic data from ancient and modern samples to reconstruct population history. The goal is to understand genetic diversity and substructure of past populations mostly from but not exclusive to Western Eurasia. To this end, the candidate will use statistical methods to quantify ancestral relationships, such as PCA, admixture, and f-statistics. We are also developing explicit tree- and graph-based population-genetic models for common ancestry and admixture between different groups of samples to understand order and timing of historical events.
Ideal applicants should have completed a PhD in genetics, bioinformatics, and computer science or relevant neighboring disciplines, ideally worked with large high-throughput sequencing or SNP datasets, and have a profound interest in human history. Prerequisites also include evidence of strong oral and written communication skills and the ability to complete tasks in a timely and structured fashion.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increase the employment of individuals with a disability and especially encourages them to apply. The Max Planck Society also seeks to increase the number of women in areas where they are under-represented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
Please submit a letter of interest in one single file up to 5 MB detailing how you meet the qualifications and what you would like to work on, and a curriculum vitae (indicating previous academic performance indicators, publication history, and prior research experience) via our online application form:
https://lotus2.gwdg.de/mpg/mjws/perso/shh_p033.nsf/application
Please note that when submitting your document in our application form you will be asked for contact information of three referees. Your referees will receive an email containing a link where they can upload their letter of recommendation. The deadline for submission of these letters is the same as the one for the applications.
For more details on the research program please contact:

Archaeology of Food and Foodways (Journal)
We invite you to submit your current research for consideration in the second issue of the international refereed journal Archaeology of Food and Foodways.
For submission guidelines or subscriptions: Archaeology of Food and Foodways
Editorial inquiries: AFFeditors@equinoxpub.com
Frequency: Two issues per volume year
ISSN: 2514-8370 (Print); 2514-8389 (Online)
Journal Aims and Objectives
Archaeology of Food and Foodways is an international refereed journal showcasing original scholarly work on the relationship between human sustenance and society. This publication foregrounds the dynamics between food and culture, food and environment, and shifts in foodways over time, covering time periods from prehistory through the 19th century. We encourage the submission of original work by archaeologists, historians, Classicists, and other scholars who address methodologies, theories, historical trajectories, cross-cultural comparisons, and controversies surrounding material culture and past foodways. We also encourage the submission of work by scholars and other specialists who have applied archaeological findings to such domains as public policy, culinary arts, and dietary regimes.
Archaeology of Food and Foodways accepts submissions of original Research Articles, Thematic Essays, Applied Articles, Photo Essays, and Thematic Issues. All submissions must have an archaeological focus, but may elucidate experimental archaeological or ethnoarchaeological work if applied to a specific archaeological problem, or incorporate archaeological research into contemporary applications. Submissions may have any geographical focus. AFF does not publish short notes, descriptive excavation reports, limited artifact studies, or book reviews.
We hope you will be willing to circulate this announcement to interested colleagues!
