gcook Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I am a biology major (BSc), and looking into applying my molecular bio/genetics knowledge to anthropology. What are some schools with graduate programs/researchers in molecular anthropology/archaeology? I am considering programs in Canada or abroad (although I worry about funding if I go abroad). Thoughts? Suggestions? Know of a great prof or program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paloma Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I've heard that Purdue (West Lafayette campus) has a decent molecular anthropology program, so you may want to check that one out. Within the Purdue system, I believe that IUPUI had a decent program at some point, however, the professor that was involved with genetics over there recently took a job teaching at my university. I have a class with her, and she's one of the best professors I've ever had. If there are more like her over there, it may also be worth checking out.

mootspoints Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I did my Master's in Archaeological Science at the University of Cambridge in archaeogenetics. They have several really interesting ongoing projects that use molecular biology/genetics to investigate prehistory and an entire archaeogenetic lab. You might want to check them out if you'd be interested in going to school over there. Also, I'm currently looking into PhD programs, and I am finding that more people in Ecology and Evolution Departments are working on projects that combine genetics and archaeology than in Archaeology Departments, so you may want to consider looks at those types of programs too.

antennaehead Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Check out Binghamton University, specifically Professors Koji Lum and Andy Merriwether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cici Beanz Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I second Binghamton...though I'm sure you've probably just about finished applying if you're looking to start in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutualist007 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I am looking too and tagging along. I am working on a dual Masters in Anthro and Public Health and hope to also speak with professors working genetic epidemiology. I will post my recommendations soon.

blablupp Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The Leipzig School of Human Origins is super competitive, but all students are fully funded. It's probably one of the best programs in the world if you are interested in anthropology and genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutualist007 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The few I know about now (limited to where I can move) are UTK, UFL, UOK, and KU. I am also looking for part-time residency programs in the US or abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
