The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities announced seven new male members and one new female member—Prof. Dayan. They will join its ranks at a festive ceremony that will take place during Chanuka 2004. With the addition of the new members the Academy now numbers 154 members.
Prof. Tamar Dayan is one of the initiators and founders of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History and serves as museum chair and full professor of zoology in the Faculty of Life Sciences. Her research focuses on ecology, nature conservation and archaezoology. The Academy’s choice provides additional recognition and proof of Prof. Dayan’s long-term contribution to research fields in zoology and ecology and to nature conservation in Israel.
Seeking dynamic research leaders for up to two joint tenure-track positions at the School of Zoology and the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Tel Aviv University.
The School of Zoology and the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History (SMNH) at Tel-Aviv University invite applications from exceptional candidates for up to two joint tenure-track positions opening in October 2024.
We congratulate the Museum Chair, Prof. Tamar Dayan, on being awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Israel Society of Ecology and Environmental Sciences.
The award citation stated: ”One of the defining characteristics of Prof. Dayan’s career is the range of fields in which she and her students undertake research. Prof. Dayan has supervised not only zoologists and ecologists but also jurists and planners while collaborating with researchers from different disciplines. But the crowning glory of her career is the establishment of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History in Tel Aviv. Until the museum’s establishment, the national collections were mostly hidden from view. Prof. Dayan has successfully turned the museum into the main center of action for nature conservation in Israel”.
We congratulate the 14 recipients of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History Post-Doctoral Fellowships. The recipients join 40 previous post-docs who carried out different aspects of biodiversity research. Read more…
