reminder about position for tenured systematic entomologist

[Nikolaj Scharff]

Dear Colleague,

This just to remind you about the deadline of April 2 for the position
described below. Please read more about the position at
http://www.zmuc.dk/commonweb/Job/jobs.htm. Several people have asked
whether this position is earmarked to a coleopterist, but this is not the
case. It is probably a lot more interesting to curate a coleoptera
collection if you are a coleopterist, but any qualified (see criteria
below) candidate can apply for the position, no matter taxonomical
preference.

Sincerely yours


Nikolaj Scharff
