[Taxacom] Job offer in Mexico in the area of taxonomy/systematics

[Heike Vibrans]

The Colegio de Postgraduados, campus Montecillo, in Texcoco, Mexico, is searching to fill two full-time, permanent (after an initial try-out period) positions of what is called "profesor-investigador" in Mexico; one is for a more traditional taxonomist (which includes curating a mid-sized herbarium curated previously by Stephen Koch until his death), and the other one is for someone with interest in systematics, preferably a group associated with economic plants. Both have to teach (1-2 courses per year), attend to postgraduate students and investigate.

Please note that the offer is directed mainly at Mexican nationals (we are a government institution, not an independent university) with a doctoral degree and postdoc experience, but if you are a fluent Spanish speaker, have a good record and would be interested, please also apply. Note the deadline: in 10 days, April 16.

The basic salary is usually augmented by several productivity recompensation schemes, and you can apply for promotion (two levels) after a couple of years. And money is worth more in Mexico.

Regards,

Heike
