Berlin Museum (fwd)

[henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Henry Gee)]

Dear colleagues,

Svante Paabo from Munich is on the search committee for candidates for
director of the institute of systematic zoology  at the Museum fur Naturkunde
and Humboldt Museum in Berlin. He asked me to think of a few names, and 
agreed with my suggestion that a posting on the net would be a good idea.

This is NOT an advertisement as such -- only a request for suggestions
for suitable candidates, which should be sent offnet to Professor Paabo
(paabo@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de). An abbreviated version of Paabo's
posting to me follows.

Apologies for duplicate postings on TAXACOM and PALEONET.

> turn it into an internationally competative research institution. This

> members.
