Dear taxacomers,

I am glad to inform you that a new Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery will soon be founded at the Museum fuer Naturkunde in Berlin. The first tenure track positions are now advertised, three of them are devoted to taxonomy. More positions will soon be opened, including a full-professor position for taxonomy as the head of the center. Very exciting development! Please find the official text below.

Biodiversity research for the 21 century - at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin
 
The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science (MfN), is developing a new cutting- edge center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery. By 2020 this program will consist of a large team (> 20 staff) of mainly new hires and existing MfN biodiversity experts. We expect this new program to develop into a worldwide recognized center for modern collection-based biodiversity discovery and taxonomic expertise, able to strengthen and develop networks and train global biodiversity scientists and leaders. The program aims to significantly contributing to alleviating the global taxonomic deficit and speeding up biodiversity discovery. 

Berlin is a dynamic international city at the heart of Europe. The museum has a strong team culture, thrives for scientific excellence and is undergoing a transformation. Developing our science and our public programs we want to address global challenges, respond to scientific opportunities and foster science-society dialogue. 

We would welcome you joining our team. The first four new positions in the biodiversity discovery center are now advertised:
