#AminoAcidAdvent Day 1: Proline
The kinkiest of amino acids (NSFW!), synthesized from glutamic acid, and some even call it the simplest "enzyme". Regardless, its a pro move to include the hydroxyproline variable mod if your abundant proteins have collagen domains... really, do this.

Largest dataset on Mg/Ca in shells yet (+100 and over a dozen sites)π Again, we found tightly correlated but shell-specific relationships between temperature and Mg/Ca. Lots of potential for future archaeological studiesπΊ

Are you interested in human evolution? Would you like to work in palaeoproteomics π©π»βπ¬ and live in Copenhagen π©π°π΄π½ββοΈ? So, apply to these advertised positions. More info π
β οΈJust a quick reminder, there are a few days left to apply for these two positions in #palaeoproteomics.
This week, www.thoca.org celebrates years of new research in Central Asia, with researchers convening in Copenhagen to discuss the state-of-art and new questions to address next! Exciting days, and exciting science ahead!
#Palaeoproteomics of Middle and Late Pleistocene hominin fossils and associated zooarchaeological assemblages from Central Eurasia with @fridowelker.bsky.social!
Postdoc: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...
Research Assistant: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...
Application deadline: 7 November. Both are 2 year positions, both in palaeoproteomics, both involve travel to Central Eurasia, and both are based in beautiful Copenhagen.
Please reach out directly in case you have any questions (start dates are negotiable).
The research assistant position will focus on routine ZooMS analysis, high-throughput LC-MS/MS, amelogenin sexing, and database maintenance. A background in ZooMS and/or zooarchaeology will be advantageous:
Research assistant link: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...
The postdoctoral position will focus on the extraction and analysis of hominin proteomes, and some experience with palaeoproteomics will be advantageous:
Postdoc link: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...
MiddleEarth aims to provide unique insights into the hominin occupation histories in Central Eurasia by applying palaeoproteomic methods to a selected number of archaeological sites in the region.
I'm hiring!β As part of the DFF Sapere Aude-funded project MiddleEarth, I am looking for 1 postdoctoral researcher and 1 research assistant.
