Desde el 15 de agosto, los visitantes del Museo de los Mares
Paleozoicos, en Santa Cruz de Nogueras (Teruel) encuentran ampliada su
exposición sobre la vida en los mares paleozoicos, con nuevos ejemplares
de fósiles de muy difícil conservación o que no eran muy frecuentes en
las asociaciones marinas del entorno. Se exponen ejemplares
espectaculares de crinoides perfectamente articulados. También las
placas óseas de pequeños peces acorazados o las espinas de las aletas de
peces acantodios. Uno de los fósiles más llamativos es la concha de un
gran cefalópodo endocérido, dentro de un canto rodado del Terciario del
Villar de los Navarros.
El Museo de los Mares Paleozoicos de
Santa Cruz de Nogueras tiene como objetivo divulgar el patrimonio
geológico y natural a partir de la exposición permanente “La vida en los
mares paleozoicos” en la que se ilustran los principales grupos de
fósiles presentes en las rocas de esa parte de la sierra de Cucalón y
sirve para mostrar las características ecológicas de esos ambientes.
A
pesar de su reducido espacio, cuenta con infinidad de fósiles
originales de la época en que toda la zona de la sierra de Oriche estaba
cubierta por el agua de mar. Las rocas de estas sierras de la
Cordillera Ibérica guardan un registro excepcional de los animales
marinos que vivieron entre el inicio del periodo Ordovícico (hace 488
millones de años) y el final del periodo Devónico (hace 360 millones de
años).

Puesto de trabajo de profesor de Paleontología en la Universidad de Michigan
The Museum of Paleontology and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan are searching for a tenure-track faculty candidate in the field of Paleontology.
This is a university year appointment with an expected start date of September 1, 2015. We anticipate an appointment at the assistant professor/assistant curator level, but applications at other levels will be considered. We seek applicants who have broad research and teaching interests within developing areas of evolutionary or environmental paleobiology, including, but not restricted to, macroevolution, interactions of developmental biology and evolution, extinction dynamics, paleoecology, organismal paleobiology, and biotic responses to global change. The Museum and Department will consider outstanding applicants in any of these areas. Taxonomic expertise is expected, but the specific area is open.
The successful candidate is expected to establish a leading research program and contribute to both undergraduate and graduate teaching. The appointment in the Museum of Paleontology involves shared curatorial responsibility for a major research collection, now on the threshold of significant enhancement of its online footprint. Applicants must have a PhD and should submit a CV, a statement of current and future research plans, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, evidence of teaching excellence, and names of at least four persons who can provide letters of recommendation.
Further information about the Museum of Paleontology and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences can be found at: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/paleontology/ and http://www.lsa.umich.edu/earth, respectively.
To apply please go to http://www.earth.lsa.umich.edu/paleofacultysearch/newapplicant, complete the online form, and upload the required application documents as a single PDF file. If you have any questions or comments, please send an email message to: Michigan-paleosearch@umich.edu.
The application deadline is October 31, 2014 for full consideration, but applications will continue to be reviewed until the position is filled. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University is supportive of the needs of dual-career couples. The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
