THE INSTITUTE OF FRESHWATER ECOLOGY AND INLAND FISHERIES ANNOUNCES A HEAD OF DEPARTMENT POSITION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) is an interdisciplinary, so-called Blue-List reasearch institute, funded equally by the State of Berlin and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It is located in a scenic district of Berlin, Germany.
The IGB investigates process-oriented various limnological ecosystems taking into consideration the whole biotic and abiotic interactions in the water-bodies and their catchment areas. Fishery-ecology studies are an integral part of the studies. A goal of research at IGB is to gain further insight into ecosystem functioning applicable to other freshwater bodies by mathematical modelling and - equally important - with direct practical application, e.g. for rehabilitation or management concepts.
The Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries is seeking as soon as possible a Visiting Scientist to head the Department of Fish Breeding and Fish Pathology for 1.5 to 2 years’ period. The salary equals roughly 60 T US$.
A substantial contribution in the following areas will be expected:
· Research in IGB and teaching in the Agriculture and Horticulture Faculty of Humboldt University in Berlin in the field of fish-breeding and fish pathology with particular consideration of freshwater ecological aspects. Teaching in English is very welcome. · Concepts and methods for the optimization of freshwater management resources directed at sustained environmental and resource-care management in fisheries and aquaculture. · Nutrition and reproduction biology of fish and the fish life-cycle and/or · Pathology and parasitology of fish. We are looking for a qualified and creative scientist with the ability to cooperate closely with research groups in other departments of the Institute as well as with outside cooperation partners, both within Germany and overseas.
Applications with the customary documents, copies of five publications and an outline for a personal research program in the above-mentioned department to:
