Available jobs in our department

National

If you want the latest on positions in evolutionary biology in Germany (mainly for Ph.D. and postdocs) ask Barbara Hellriegel,from the Technical University in Munich, to put you on the mailing listof the Studiengruppe Evolutionsbiologie of the Deutsche zoologische Gesellschaft. Most positions in Germany in this field are posted on this list.

International

If you are looking for an international job in evolutionary biology(spanning all biological disciplines) check the biggest Email director in evolutionary biology: http://life.biology.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir.html. Whether you are looking for a postdoc or postgraduate position, courses, permanent and tenure-track faculty positions, it's all there.
