Natural History Museum of Denmark
University of Copenhagen
Associate Professor in Invertebrate Palaeontology
The Natural History Museum (Geological Museum), University of
Copenhagen is seeking an Associate Professor in invertebrate
palaeontology. The main activities of the museum are research, curation
of geological material, exhibitions and service to the Danish public
together with the teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The successful applicant will have a primary responsibility for Mesozoic
and Cenozoic invertebrate fossils and will be expected to develop
research programmes on one or more macrofossil groups. The museum
holds large collections of fossil invertebrates from the Maastrichtian and
Danian rocks of Denmark and adjacent areas together with substantial
material from the Paleogene and Neogene rocks of Jutland. A range of
Mesozoic and Cenozoic fossils from Greenland also forms an important
part of the collections.
Applicants should be palaeontologists of international standing, with a
Ph.D. or equivalent degree, together with a comprehensive knowledge of
one or more groups of fossil animals based on significant and original
research, supplemented by research in biostratigraphy,
palaeobiogeography and taphonomy and experience of geological
fieldwork and computer-based techniques. Field-based investigations in
the Arctic and Baltic areas are a high priority for the museum.
The Geological Museum has an important role as a communicator of
developments in geology to schools and to the general public within the
remit of the recently established Geocenter Copenhagen and Natural
History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen. Experience in
public relations and knowledge of Danish together with Denmark’s
geology will therefore be considered an advantage.
