Position as Curator Ichthyology (m/f/d) at the location Hamburg
The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) is one of the large, globally connected research museums of the Leibniz Association. In addition to excellent research on biodiversity and its change, we are advancing the development of our extensive scientific collections with an international team and state-of-the-art technology. With our exhibition, knowledge transfer and communication work at our exhibition venues Museum Koenig Bonn and Museum der Natur Hamburg, we want to spread enthusiasm for nature and contribute with our research topics to current socio-political discussions on species loss, climate change and the protection of ecosystems. The construction of an integrated natural history museum is being planned for the Hamburg location; the research infrastructure at the Bonn location is currently being significantly expanded.
The LIB is looking for a scientist for a position as Curator Ichthyology (m/f/d) at the location Hamburg starting as soon as possible, representing research at an internationally competitive level.
The successful candidate will bridge the gap between the fish collection and ichthyological research on drivers of biodiversity change in space and time. The candidate’s scientific expertise should include collection-based ichthyological research and must cover at least one of the following fields:
● fish morphology,
● population and/or community ecology of fishes,
● evolutionary ecology and/or integrative systematics of fishes.
