      *8th R. J. H. Hintelmann Scientific Award *

for Zoological Systematics

Established by Mrs. Elisabeth Hintelmann
in memory of her husband Robert J. H. Hintelmann

For outstanding achievements in zoological systematics, phylogenetics,
faunistics or zoogeography the association "Freunde der Zoologischen
Staatssammlung München e.V." has the pleasure to announce the 7th R.J.H.
Hintelmann Scientific Award. The prize has the value of Euro 5,000.-
and  its target group are preferably young post-graduate scientists. The
price was awarded annually since the year 2000 (see in the internet:
*http://www.zsm.mwn.de/events/wiss_preise.htm*).

This prize is awarded not only in appreciation of the previous
scientific performance of the applicant, but the prize-winner  will also
be given the opportunity to continue his/her research work in
coordination with the Zoologische Staatssammlung Muenchen (ZSM). This
may be carried out either by visiting the ZSM or by being provided with
ZSM materials for work elsewhere. The 8th R.J.H. Hintelmann Scientific
Award will be presented in January, 19th, 2007 during a ceremony at the
ZSM in Munich, where the prize-winner has to provide a short lecture on
his/her research topics.

Nominations may name any young post-graduate scientist with outstanding
performance in the fields mentioned above. The pertaining proposal or
application should provide an account of the candidate's scientific
achievement. In addition, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and
selected reprints (not more than five) have to be submitted. The
submitted documents remain with the awarding association.

Candidates may be nominated by any zoologist; self-nomination and
repetitive application in several years are also possible. The
prize-holder is elected on absolute majority basis by a jury appointed
by the executive committee of the "Freunde der Zoologischen
Staatssammlung e.V." Depending on the quality of applications the
association reserves the right to withhold the award in any given year.

Please send applications or nominations until July 15th 2006 to the
