[vslist] Max Planck Society Three Independent Research Group Leader positions in Tuebingen

[Heinrich H. Bülthoff]

The Max Planck Society invites applications for three Independent Research
Group Leaders at the

Friedrich Miescher Laboratory (FML), Tübingen, Germany.

We seek outstanding scientists who have already accomplished significant
work in a field related to the broad spectrum of research represented in the
Bio-Medical Section (BMS) of the Max Planck Society. The FML is located on
the same campus as the Max Planck Institutes for Biological Cybernetics and
Developmental Biology, which are world leaders in their respective
disciplines. They offer excellent research facilities along with other
resources such as a guesthouse and day care (http://www.tuebingen.mpg.de).

Current research areas at the institutes include cognitive science, systems
neurobiology, evolutionary genomics, developmental genetics, cell biology
and computational biology. A top-flight NMR centre is in the process of
being built on campus.

The contracts are equivalent to non-tenured Associate Professors at the
German university scales C3/W2. They are for initially 5 years, with
possibility of extension, to start in fall 2004 or thereafter. Funds for
equipment and running costs as well as positions for postdocs, graduate
students and technical staff will be provided. There are many opportunities
for interaction with and teaching at the nearby University of Tübingen.

The Max-Planck-Society is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to
increasing the percentage of women in group leader positions. Applicants
should send a CV and 2-page summary of current and future work by February
29, 2004. Applicants should arrange to have at least 3 letters of
recommendation sent on their behalf. Electronic applications in PDF format
are preferred. Short-listed candidates will be invited to a symposium on
June 14 and 15, 2004.
