  • Excellent infrastructures and collaborations opportunities, e. g. in morphology, genomics, evolutionary biology, (paleo-)ecology
  • An attractive and challenging position in a research institution of international standing
  • Opportunities to participate in teaching and outreach activities, e.g. in our museum and with collaborating universities
  • A salary that reflects the responsibilities of the position and the experience of the candidate, based on the collective agreement for public service in the state of Hesse
  • Life in a vibrant, internationally-minded city (population 750.000), a global hub for transport and culture
  • Flexible working hours – mobile office - annual special payment – company pension scheme – 30 days holidays – strong support for work/life balance (certified by "Audit Berufundfamilie”)
  • Secure employment that is robust to economic or health crises

Place of employment: Frankfurt am Main, Germany, working hours: Full-time (40 hours/week), part time options are available, type of contract: initially limited for a period of 3 years, an extension with the option of permanent position is dependent on positive evaluation (tenure track).
