UNM has a tenure track posting in Anthropology for an archaeologist to be a “core faculty member” at the Center for Stable Isotopes. Application access is thru unmjobs.unm.edu posting #38046 #AnthroSky #PhDLife #AnthroJob
The UNM Department of Anthropology invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of Archaeology to begin in August 2027. We seek to hire an integrative archaeologist with a focus in the analysis of stable isotopes to address anthropological questions, including but not limited to the reconstruction past human habitats, diets, modifications of the environment, or responses to climate change. Research foci should complement, and not duplicate, existing specializations in our program. UNM Archaeology has long been a leader in theoretically informed, question-driven, and methodologically sophisticated anthropological archaeological research addressing long-term perspectives on the human experience across the globe. The successful candidate will add to Archaeology's record of innovative, collaborative, and ground-breaking research on cultural dynamics and past human-environment interactions.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to become a core faculty member in the UNM Center for Stable Isotopes (CSI), an interdisciplinary research and analytical facility supporting stable isotope research across Anthropology, Biology, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Chemistry, and the Biomedical Sciences. The candidate will collaborate with faculty and students across these disciplines and help train early career scientists in stable isotope methods.
The position offers opportunities to expand CSt's state-of-the-art analytical capacity through the development of new methods and capabilities. We seek a scientist who thrives in the laboratory and is committed to instrument development, calibration, quality control, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to contribute to our two-week summer training course, IsoCamp (isocamp.org), and to pursue a leadership role within CSl.
CSI is a student-centered facility that provides broad access to instrumentation as well as hands-on traini…

Sunday night skullin’ #zombieskulltober
Digital pencil drawing of a zombie’s head in 3/4 profile looking right. It is mostly rough, wrinkled, sagging, decaying skin and flesh, half the one visible ear is bitten away. Eyes are deeply sunk. All the soft tissue covering the nose, teeth, and jaw is torn away leaving flappy tatters of skin and flesh hanging down. A few cervical vertebra stuck out below.

In a small kidney cancer trial, nine people received an experimental vaccine tailored to their own tumors. None experienced a recurrence during a median follow-up of roughly three years and four months after surgery. www.sciencealert.com/nine-patient...

Nine Patients Received a Personalized Kidney Cancer Vaccine. None Had a Recurrence.
How do you teach the immune system to recognize a cancer cell? Researchers are taking clues from the tumor itself, selecting unusual protein fragments and putting them into a vaccine.

These sweeping statements about more work being like software engineering that people realize and “all service work can be automated” immediately hits me as 1) a claim that can be tested and 2) one that hasn’t been sufficiently tested. But they all just blithely accept it.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"
