The academic employee will be part of the Environmental DNA Group in the Section for Molecular Ecology and Evolution at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. The group currently consists of three postdocs, three PhD students, and one research assistant. We use environmental DNA and high-throughput sequencing to assess biodiversity, encompassing both technical and applied environmental DNA studies. The group is inclusive, multinational and has a collaborative mind-set. The day-to-day language is English. The Globe 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. The successful candidate will be part of the Copenhagen group of the ERC Synergy project, SEACHANGE, in which a cross-disciplinary approach is adopted to assess the impact of major cultural transitions on marine ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Apart from ancient environmental DNA analyses, the overall project includes classical zooarchaeology, stable isotope analyses, dating methods, marine historical ecology and ecosystem modelling.
