About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Research Scientist to join our team at the Globe Institute, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering high-impact research focused on developing original palaeoproteomic methods and their applications to address key challenges in human and vertebrate evolution.

The role involves conducting research and teaching related to the development and use of high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to sequence ancient and degraded protein remains retrieved from paleontological, palaeoanthropological, and cultural heritage objects.

Key Responsibilities
  • Research: Develop and implement innovative approaches in all stages of the palaeoproteomics experimental workflow, focusing on MS-based analysis of ancient proteins, protein sequence-based phylogenetic inference, metaproteomic analysis of ancient samples, and biological sex and/or species identification of large fossil tooth and bone sample sets.
  • Teaching: Develop and deploy research-based teaching at all academic levels, supervise students and junior colleagues, and actively develop own and others' pedagogical and didactic skills.
  • External Funding: Attract and manage externally funded large research grants, and engage in public dissemination of research outcomes.
Requirements

The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent research-based doctoral-level degree in Molecular Biology, Biological Anthropology, or related disciplines. They must demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communicative skills, as well as a proven track record of obtaining funding by applying to competitive calls.

Strong publication records and experience in conceiving and leading multiple large-scale research-based training networks are also essential. In addition, the applicant will have demonstrated experience in supervising students and junior colleagues, as well as active responsibility for the management and development of the academic environment at departmental and/or faculty level.

What We Offer

The position is a permanent one, with an estimated annual salary range of €70,000 - €110,000, depending on qualifications and experience. As part of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU), the University of Copenhagen promotes research and teaching of the highest international standard. Our effective organisation offers good working conditions and a collaborative work culture, creating the ideal framework for a successful academic career.
