Required background: a PhD in botany, biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, plant systematics, plant biology, biodiversity science, or a related field by the start date. Strong communication, analytical ability, attention to detail, independence, collaboration, and the ability to organize specimens, data, analyses, and manuscripts are emphasized.
Preferred experience: plant systematics, evolutionary biology, phylogeography, population genomics, ecology, Poaceae, herbarium science, phylogenetics, morphometrics, comparative methods, herbarium collections, plant taxonomy, grasses, biodiversity informatics, R, Python, GitHub, GIS/spatial analysis, spectral reflectance, trait modeling, voucher collection, plant identification, fieldwork, laboratory workflows, and grant/manuscript development.
Funding: this is a grant-funded postdoctoral appointment, and continuation depends on grant support. Salary is commensurate with qualifications.
