The Mensch und Tier Foundation, with which Marlen works closely, is awarding two postdoctoral fellowships to promote young scientists in great ape research, one of which includes a stay in the field (Democratic Republic of Congo/Indonesia), the other does not. The fellows can be accompanied by Marlen if desired and can also be provided with a workplace as a guest researcher in our working group.
