Job description

The Globe Institute is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. The Institute’s main purpose is to address basic scientific questions through interdisciplinary approaches. The institute operates at the intersection of natural sciences, medical sciences and the humanities.

As part of the Globe’s remit and to strengthen its existing research, teaching and external communication, we seek to appoint an Associate Professor in Palaeoproteomics. The selected candidate will carry out research and teaching related to the development and the use of high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to sequence ancient and degraded protein remains retrieved from paleontological, palaeoanthropological and cultural heritage objects.

The Associate Professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:

  • research, including publication/academic dissemination in the fields of:
    • mass spectrometry(MS)-based analysis of ancient and degraded proteins,
    • protein sequence-based phylogenetic inference on extinct species that lived in time periods and geographic areas incompatible with ancient DNA preservation
    • identification of protein remains present in cultural heritage
    • metaproteomic analysis of ancient samples to reconstruct: (i) palaeoenvironments, as well as diet and disease in ancient humans and fauna
    • palaeopathology
    • characterization of chemical damage in ancient proteins
    • high throughput identification of sex, biological species, and/or protein damage in large samples sets
    • the development of new methods in all the stages of the palaeoproteomics experimental workflow: sample preparation, MS measurement and data analysis

  • the application of such tools to evolutionary biological questions including, but not limited to speciation and adaptation
  • research-based teaching, including data analysis, ancient and degraded protein sequencing data analysis methods and associated examination within his/her general area of competence
  • research leadership, including supervision of Bachelors, Masters and PhD students
  • attraction and management of externally funded research projects
  • public dissemination of research outcomes, including engaging and interacting in the Danish citizen science environment
  • academic assessments.

Required qualifications

The successful applicant will have a PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biological Anthropology or Archaeology, or a related discipline and an excellent track record of original research at the international level.

In addition, the successful applicant should be able to document:

  • research qualifications at the level that can be achieved by satisfactorily completing a period of employment as an Assistant Professor, but may also be obtained in other ways
  • an outstanding publication record in palaeoproteomics,
  • a proven track record of developing and applying palaeoproteomics methods to palaeonthological, palaeoanthropological and cultural heritage materials,
  • experience in conceiving and leading multiple large-scale research and training networks,
  • a proven track record of research-based teaching and coordination of teaching activities, also at the international level,
  • experience in supervising Bachelor, Master and PhD students,
  • experience as research group leadership,
  • a proven track record of obtaining funding at both national and international level, from public and private funding bodies,
  • experience in project management, including successful collaborations both nationally and internationally,
  • an excellent track record in communicating his/her research, both to scientific peers and to the wider public,
  • excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
