The AaRC community aims to bring together early career researchers applying genomic approaches to ancient animal remains and nucleotide-preserving material.
By providing an inclusive environment, AaRC will promote knowledge exchange and collaboration between researchers regardless of their institutional or disciplinary background; facilitate the establishment of community-led standards, best practices and resources; and provide a platform for the sharing of research and knowledge.
AaRC is envisioned to be primarily run by and for early career researchers (graduate student, post-doctoral researchers, and early group leaders), but researchers of all career stages are welcome to join and participate in the community.
AaRC’s mission is to provide:
- Scientific advancement (via community-driven projects to advance the field)
- Training and support (through resources and courses to facilitate knowledge sharing and quality of research)
- Networking (by facilitating collaborations and assisting each other)
for the animal ancient DNA community.
We achieve these aims with various projects, and by regularly communciating with each other.
Please join us on our:
-
slack channel for day-to-day advice, help, brainstorming, news, networking, and socialising.
-
mailing list for announcements, calls, and notices.
- twitter/X for latest news, polls, and publications.
to keep get involved and keep up-to-date!
