From 1958 to 1965 Jörg Peter Ewert studied the specialties biology, chemistry, and geography at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen. He graduated in 1965 and took up the specialty of zoology under the direction of the behavior physiologist Georg Birukow. The subject of Ewert’s dissertation was: The influence of peripheral sense organs and the central nervous system on the readiness to move in the earth toad. Later he graduated and passed the country examination for the scholarly office at secondary schools. |

From 1966, he was a scientific assistant at the zoological institute of the technical University of Darmstadt. First he studied under the physiologist Wolfgang Luther and continued his work while learning from the sense physiologist Hubert Markl. In 1968 he received an invitation from the Neurophysiologist Otto Joachim offering him a position at the physiological institute of the free University of Berlin. He used the knowledge acquired to begin deriving neurons out of the visual system of the earth toad. |

During a research project 1970-71, he worked as a Fellow of the Neuropsychologist David J. Ingle under the Foundations for Research in Psychiatry at the McLean hospital (Harvard Medical School) in Belmont, MA, USA. |

From 1971-1972 he worked as a university professor at the zoological institute of the University of Technology at Darmstadt. |

In 1973, Ewert became the chair of the zoology/physiology program at the University of Kassel. There he formed a Neuroethology team for research. During the foundation phase of the university, he was authoritatively involved in the construction of the science courses of studies especially the biology program. |
|||
In 1983, Ewert received a call to chair zoology/physiology at the University of Vienna. He decided, however, to remain at the University of Kassel. |
|||
From 2000 to 2004, Ewert led, as a representative of the European Science Foundation (ESF), an expert group of the Council of Europe. Their task was to "Group the Knowledge of Experts on Amphibians and Reptiles.” |
