Pir Hoebe is a Researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Arts, specifically within the Archaeology of Northwestern Europe group at the Groningen Institute of Archaeology. With an MA degree, Hoebe focuses on prehistoric archaeology in Northwest Europe, particularly examining hunter-gatherer societies during the Early Holocene period and the impact of environmental changes on ancient populations.

Hoebe's research centers on Doggerland (the now-submerged landmass in the North Sea), employing 'dates-as-data' approaches using large radiocarbon datasets to understand climate impacts on prehistoric societies. Their work examines how rising sea levels affected hunter-gatherer communities, with particular attention to flint analysis and material culture. The research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental protection and understanding human-environment interactions.
Recent publications demonstrate Hoebe's expertise in analyzing large archaeological datasets, with a focus on methodological approaches to handling data quality issues in radiocarbon dating. Their work shows consistent patterns between climate events and fluctuations in human activity across Northwest Europe during the Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods.
Hoebe actively participates in both academic and public engagement activities, presenting at conferences on topics ranging from Doggerland inundation models to practical archaeological techniques like flint recognition and drawing. Their research is supported by ongoing projects including 'Resurfacing Doggerland. Environment, humans and material culture in a drowning postglacial landscape' (2021-2026).
As part of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, Hoebe contributes to both academic research and practical archaeological assessments, including work on megalithic tombs in the Netherlands. Their approach combines traditional archaeological methods with innovative data analysis techniques to address complex questions about prehistoric human adaptation to environmental change.
