Such jobs include student and post-doctoral research positions, positions in the technical and academic staff. Student Practica are a popular way for younger people to learn about Palaeontology and Museum work. Praktikants typically spend a few weeks working with one or more of the curatorial staff on the fossil collections, and occasionally helping as well with ongoing research. Contact your school's officials for more info on the Praktikant program, and Hr. H. Hackman of the Museum's administration for information on opportunities at the Museum.
Volunteer work is another way for people to participate.
There is a great need for basic help in all areas of the Institute's work, from collections curation and research to help with computing and public relations. Contact the Paleontology Institute Director Prof. H.-P. Schultze or individual Institute curatorial staff for more information.
