Consult the Tenders and Job Opportunities Section for all the opportunities available to work at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn

In Progress

The Station Zoologica Anton Dohrn carries out its institutional activities in collaboration with highly qualified research fellows. To get “Associated” to the SZN means to be involved and to support the development of research programs and present research proposal in the name of the Stazione Zoologica with the possibility of running the research at the SZN.

To join the SZN as Young Fellow or Research Fellow or Chair the candidate must submit the application and send it to the President of the SZN (presidenza(at)szn.it).

The proposal of association is evaluated by the Scientific Council on the basis of the curriculum and scientific production and the eligibility is formalized by the Administration Council.
