16th 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 M?nchen e.V.? has the pleasure to announce the 16th 
R.J.H. Hintelmann Scientific Award. The prize has the value of Euro 
5,000.- and its target group are young post-graduate scientists. The 
price is being awarded annually since the year 2000: 
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 M?nchen (ZSM). This may 
be carried out either by visiting the ZSM or by being provided with ZSM 
materials for work elsewhere. The 16th R.J.H. Hintelmann Scientific 
Award will be presented on January, 16th, 2015 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, not yet in a 
permanent position, with outstanding performance in one or more of 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 (please submit in printed as 
well as digital form, e.g. on a CD-Rom). The submitted documents remain 
with the awarding association.

Candidates may be nominated by any zoologist; self-nomination and 
repetitive application over 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 25th 2014 to the
