The newly created Center for Molecular Physiology of the Brain (ZMPG)
at the University of Göttingen is offering the position of:

Coordinator

The ZMPG Center is an interdisciplinary research center that is financed by 
the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The Center links the traditional departments
of the various university research institutions, the European Neuroscience
Institute, the Multiple Sclerosis Research Institute, the Göttingen Center for
Molecular Biology, the Max-Planck-Institutes for Biophysical Chemistry and
Experimental Medicine and the German Primate Center. It also includes the
International Graduate Programs in the Neurosciences, Molecular Biology and
Physics/Biophysics.

Its interdisciplinary research program covers four main research areas in
Molecular Physiology and Applied Neurosciences.  The Coordinator will
support, facilitate, organize and coordinate the work of the spokesperson
and the Executive Committee of the ZMPG. This includes support in
presentations of the ZMPG on the Internet, other public relations
activities, the organization of public and scientific lecture and seminar
series.  We expect therefore a reliable and responsible person with good
organization and communication skills. The candidate should be able to work
independently in an interdisciplinary context and have excellent skills in
group organization and have good verbal and written knowledge of the
English and German languages. Good familiarity with electronic media is
also required.

He or she should have an academic degree; a Ph.D. in a field related to 
Biology
or Bioinformatics is desirable. The coordinator should also have skills in
making advanced scientific content accessible to a broad readership including
laypersons.

The pay rate depends on the qualifications with a maximum salary base of BAT
IIa/Ib (including Social Security benefits) according to the German Public
Service Regulations.  Women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped
applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment.

A curriculum vitae, statement of professional goals and the names of
references should be directed not later than August 31, 2002 to
