Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology RESEARCH POSITION IN HUMAN EVOLUTION

More information about the Department of Human Evolution may be found at http://www.eva.mpg.de/evolution. The position is a research-only post with no teaching obligations. The department will provide substantial support in a highly stimulating environment. We expect the successful candidate to work closely with Professor Fred Spoor on aspects of either: • the cranio-dental fossil record of African Plio-Pleistocene hominins • the comparative morphology of the bony labyrinth in primates. The selected candidate will have a Ph.D. and, ideally, post-doctoral experience with a strong track record of research. The initial length of the appointment is two years but the contract is extensible. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and to increasing the share of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore expressly encourages applications from such qualified individuals. For further information please contact Professor Fred Spoor (f.spoor@eva.mpg.de). Applications, including cover letter, curriculum vitae, reprints of selected publications, short statement of research interests, and the names of three referees should be sent by mail before the 31th of January 2010 to: Jean-Jacques Hublin, Department of Human Evolution, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D-04103 Leipzig (Germany)
