Internship for Archaeobotany at the Cyprus Institute

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European non-profit science and technology institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. The research aims of the Cyprus Institute are represented by three research centers: the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CASTORC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC), and the Energy Environment Water Research Center (EEWRC). Considerable cross-center interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s culture.

The Cyprus Institute invites applications for an Intern who will have the opportunity to gain hands-on working experience by supporting STARC’s research activities on Archaeobotany. More specifically, the Intern will assist in archaeobotanical research activities for preparing the material for publication, recording measurements of specific species and writing the relevant reports.

Such activities will include sorting of samples and basic identification of plant remains, but also measurements of olives and grapes for morphometric analysis, as part of the project ‘’Olive and grape cultivation and the production of olive oil and wine in the Mediterranean’’ led by Dr Evi Margaritis.

The archaeobotanical material derives from Greek and Cypriot sites, mainly dated to the Bronze Age.
