The Senckenberg Society for Nature Research is a member of the Leibniz Association and has been investigating the “Earth System” worldwide for more than 200 years, examining the past, analysing the present, and developing projections for the future. We conduct integrative geobiodiversity research with the aim of understanding nature in all its complexity and diversity in order to preserve it as the foundation of life for future generations and to ensure its sustainable use. Across eight institutes and five research stations throughout Germany, scientists from more than 40 countries conduct research at the highest international level. The city of Frankfurt, where the Senckenberg Society was originally founded, hosts the organization’s central administrative services along with two research institutes housing extensive scientific collections and one of Senckenberg’s most renowned institutions, the Senckenberg Natural History Museum Frankfurt. Senckenberg is as much a part of the city’s identity as its skyline and its traditional apple wine.

The project:

With roughly 22.5 million natural history collection objects, state-of-the-art research infrastructures, and a globally connected team, we make a significant contribution to documenting and understanding geobiodiversity. To enable a technology-driven approach of digital transformation of our collections, we are establishing a new infrastructure unit as part of a to be established the Collection Data Center. This unit will serve as the central hub for automated and interoperable digital workflows across our scientific collections, integrating metadata generation, data standardisation, and image-based digitization. We are looking for an individual who thrives at the interface of imaging technology, interdisciplinary research and organizational development, or is eager to grow into such a role.
