Abstract: We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the sequence $Q_{lambda,j}$ as $j$ varies is Schur-unimodal. The second conjecture, which we prove using the first, states that the cycle type $(q,p)$-Eulerian polynomial ewline $A_{l}ambd{a}^{maj,des,exc}(q,p,q^{-1}t)$ is $t$-unimodal.
