For over 200 years the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN)
represents one of the most relevant institutions investigating nature and
its diversity. Currently, scientists from more than 40 countries across
11 locations in Germany conduct research in the fields of biodiversity,
earth system analysis and climate change. Following its mission to
“analyze and document biodiversity in earth system dynamics – to
serve science and society” Senckenberg stands for curiosity-driven

e.g. through innovative imaging approaches (hyperspectral imaging, µCT,
MRI, environmental SEM), chemical analyses, or microbiome/pathogen
analysis. Collections-based research and curatorial duties will be
associated with either the Coleoptera (1.7 mio specimens; 6542 primary
types), Lepidoptera (1.2 mio specimens; 2300 types) or Diptera (0.5 mio

systematics, evolution and/or ecology of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera or
Diptera
· Acquisition of external funds
· Actively publish results of your research in international scientific
journals
· Contribute to Senckenberg’s Research Program through
internal/external collaborations, e. g. with the Senckenberg Deutsches
Entomologische Institut Müncheberg
Your profile:
· Doctoral degree in biology/zoology or a related field
· Excellent knowledge of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera or Diptera systematics
· Experience in curation and management of entomological collections
· Experience with modern research infrastructure and innovative methods,
e.g. imaging, chemical analysis and/or microbiome/pathogen analysis
· Outstanding research record in systematics, morphology, evolutionary
biology or ecology of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera or Diptera, documented by
international peer-review publications
· Fluency in English both spoken and written; good knowledge of German
What is awaiting you?
· A vibrant, international team of scientists with collections-based
research programs
· Excellent infrastructures and collaboration opportunities, e.g. in
morphology, biodiversity genomics, evolutionary biology, 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
· A salary that reflects the tasks and responsibilities of the position
based on the collective agreement for public service in the state of Hesse
