Position: Pal. Inst., MfN, Berlin

[Unwin <h0662eka@rz.hu-berlin.de>]

C4 Professor of Paleozoology, Museum for Natural History, Berlin

Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to draw your attention to a recent advertisement in Nature (vol. 
419: issue 6910: 30 October, 2002: see also 
http://www.hu-berlin.de/indexe.html) for the position of C4 Professor of 
Paleozoology in the Institute for Paleontology of the Museum for Natural 
History, Berlin. 

We expect that this position will be filled in the mid to latter part of 2003 
and would like to emphasise that it is specifically intended for a 
palaeontologist whose work includes specimen based research. The candidate 
should also have a broad understanding of paleontologic research including more 
theory driven aspects as are published, for example, in journals such as 
Paleobiology. 

The successful candidate will be able to negotiate for substantial start up 
funds, will become a member of one of the largest and most active groups of 
paleontologists in Europe, and will have access to one of the world's most 
important paleontological collections. 

Prospective candidates are strongly encouraged to obtain more information on 
the institute and museum by visiting our website 
(http://www.museum.hu-berlin.de/home.asp), and by contacting the current 
Institute Director, Prof. H.-P. Schultze (eMail: 
hans-peter.schultze@rz.hu-berlin.de, tel: +49 (0)30 2093 8864), or other 
members of the institute (see website for details).  

The deadline for applications is 15 December and they should be sent to:

PR/020/02
Humboldt Universität zu Berlin
Dekan der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät 1, 
Herrn Prof. Dr. Michael Linscheid,
Invalidenstrasse 110, 10115 Berlin, Germany.
