About this position

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa.

The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatography and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry. Research activities will focus on maximizing protein recovery from fossil bones and teeth while minimizing the amount of ancient material consumed, and on screening morphologically non-informative fossil fragments to help identify the originating species and sex. The work will use PRM, DDA and DIA measurement strategies and include validation of the quality and authenticity of reconstructed sequences.

The successful researcher will collaborate closely with Professor Enrico Cappellini’s palaeoproteomics group and Professor Jesper V. Olsen’s proteomic research group. The interdisciplinary environment brings together palaeoanthropology, evolutionary biology, archaeology, palaeontology, computational palaeoproteomics and mass spectrometry. The Globe Institute provides access to advanced proteomics expertise, high-performance computing, international collaborations, dedicated clean laboratories for ancient biomolecules and a specialized mass spectrometry platform.

In addition to the core analytical research, the role includes involvement in palaeontological and palaeoanthropological projects, management of wet-laboratory resources, teaching university course modules and co-supervision of PhD and Master’s students. The appointment is based at the Globe Institute in Copenhagen.

Funding details

The position is a full-time, fixed-term 24-month appointment. Salary and employment terms follow the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on academics in the state sector; salary supplementation may be negotiated. Specific salary amounts are not stated.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in biotechnology, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, biomolecular archaeology or a related discipline, or provide a supervisor statement if the PhD is not completed. Essential requirements include hands-on experience operating high-resolution LC-MS instruments for proteomic, peptidomic or organic-compound analysis; proficiency in designing, optimizing, testing and validating LC-MS workflows; experience processing and interpreting LC-MS data with software such as MaxQuant, PEAKS, Skyline or comparable tools; excellent written and spoken English; strong communication, organizational and analytical abilities; reliability with deadlines; a proactive, flexible and problem-solving attitude; multitasking and prioritization skills; autonomy and systematic working practices; and willingness to travel occasionally within and outside Europe. Desirable qualifications include palaeoproteomics workflow development, preparation of archaeological or ancient bone, tooth or dental-calculus samples, teaching or supervision experience, leading-author publications, R command-line scripting for statistical analysis, and experience writing competitive grant proposals or research-fund applications.

How to apply

Submit the online application in English through the Talentech application portal. Upload a one-page motivated application letter, CV, certified or signed PhD and MSc certificates (or a supervisor statement if the PhD is incomplete), and a publication list, all in PDF format, by 25 November 2026 at 23:59 CET.
