Palaeogenomics of early camelid use in the Atacama Desert (Chile).
We used ancient DNA to revisit animals being hunted/herded >3,000 years ago.

A bluebuck specimen in the stores at the Natural History Museum in Vienna. It's a large beige antelope with long thin curving horns). The specimen is surrounded by many other taxidermy mammals
Only four #taxidermy bluebuck are known in #museums (Paris, Leiden, Stockholm, Vienna): the only large mammal species to become extinct in Africa in recent centuries. Bluebuck disappeared in ~1800.
(It feels weird to know I've seen them all - the only physical evidence of what bluebuck looked like)

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue.
Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October.

Congratulations! Thatโs great! ๐ฅณ
Excited to share that Iโve started as Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark! ๐งโ๐
I also received an a NNF Emerging Investigator grant to use genomics + machine learning to study extinction.

I'm hiring a postdoc... By combining samples that are more than a million years old with the short generation time of small rodents, we hope to gain a unique window into evolution unfolding across millions of generations!
Are you interested in doing a PhD in Copenhagen? Interested in studying Neanderthals and Denisovans which live on in our genomes?
Than you are more than welcome to apply to join my group starting Jan 2026 :)

Please reach out if you have any questions!
Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution!
Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!
