Doctoral and post-doctoral students

Doctoral & Post-doctoral students

The web page is dedicated to PhD students and young post-doc researchers whose themes of research focus on the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf in all disciplines. It is meant to create a network of young researchers for practical purposes (fieldworks, visas procedures, funding, contacts) and scientific ones (theoretical problems, good readings, symposium and workshops announcements).


Each year, we organize a one-day workshop in France, supported by the CEFREPA.

Each scholar has filled an introductory form you can read. To have yours posted on this page please write to :

Kaïna Rointru is a doctoral student in Archaeology, co-supervised between the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (UMR 8215, Trajectoires) and the Natural History Museum of Paris (UMR 7209, AASPE).

Her research topic concerns the “Bioanthropological and geochemical study of protohistoric populations of the Arabian Peninsula”, and is part of the ANR Arabiancairns project (ANR-22-CE27_0001), directed by Olivia Munoz. The use of these two complementary approaches will make it possible to question potential mobilities, to translate the modes of subsistence of these Bronze Age groups and to characterize their exchange and circulation networks.
