El lince ibérico, Lynx pardinus, Carnivora, Mammalia
El
mamífero más querido de los conservacionistas actuales, lástima que no
haya sido así siempre, afortunadamente todo llega y en este caso de una
manera muy científica y muy interesante para los paleontólogos que
trabajamos en vertebrados pues tenemos a golpe de click un esqueleto
prácticamente completo del lince ibérico. Podemos girarlo, medirlo,
ampliarlo….como si tuviéramos cada hueso en las manos. Ojalá esta idea
sea más apoyada por los políticos y nos den dinero para hacer museos
virtuales de los vertebrados actuales…y fósiles.
Sueño con un
armario virtual de esqueletos de aves, dinosaurios, ratones gigantes y
todo lo que queramos soñar en esqueletos de vertebrados, para los
“coleccionistas de huesos” esta página web promete: http://www.thevirtualmuseumoflife.com/lynx/ Según Laura Ramírez, de la agencia EFE VERDE, el lince ibérico es el primer huésped del Museo Virtual de la Vida, un espacio para la divulgación científica que ha puesto a disposición del público el atlas digital del esqueleto de una de las especies índice en la conservación de la biodiversidad en España.
Un indicador del interés que ha despertado en el público es la gran cantidad de noticias generadas, sobre todo en la prensa sevillana, pero también en la prensa del resto de España e internacional.

The department has extensive and valuable scientific collections in all areas of palaeontology and conducts world leading research in several fields, with emphasis on the origin and development of Cenozoic vertebrates, Palaeozoic invertebrates and seed-plants. Approximately twenty-five people work in the department. We are seeking a dynamic academic leader with experience in collections-based palaeobiology. The candidate has the ability to develop the department´s strengths in world-class, innovative research, collections management, and promotion of palaeontology to the broader public.
Duties
The position involves comprehensive planning and management, including personnel, budgetary and work environment responsibilities. Duties also include participation in management and development of the research sector within the museum, including participation in the steering committee, and implementing actions in priority areas of the museum´s operations. Emphasis will be given to consolidating and developing the new department´s operations. In addition to the managerial responsibilities, the position also provides opportunities within designated work time for the candidate´s own original research or other duties within palaeobiology.
Qualifications
You preferably have previous experience of staff and managerial duties. You must have extensive experience in collections-based work in palaeobiology.
