Fink studied from 1991 to 2001 biology/anthropology and psychology at the University of Vienna, he defended his Doctor's thesis Second to Fourth Digit Ratio in Relation to Face and Body Shape in 2003 (the process is called Promotion in German). In 2001, Fink founded the enterprise Biosocial Science Information in Biedermannsdorf.[1] From 2002 to 2005 he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, and from 2005 to 2007 as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Göttingen. From 2008 to 2013 he led there the Emmy Noether Reasearchers' Group.[2] From 2013 to 2016 he worked as a Heisenberg Programme grantee,[3] from May 2018 to February 2019 Bernhard Fink worked as a fellow of Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg within the framework of the project The Evolution and Function of Human Dance[4] in Delmenhorst.
