The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History currently has openings for two full- time Research Botanists. The Department of Botany seeks candidates with demonstrated expertise in, and a commitment to, collections-based research centered on plant systematics and evolution. Those with a research program focusing on the systematics of lichens, marine algae, or large angiosperm families for which the United States National Herbarium has strong holdings (e.g., Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Melastomataceae, Orchidaceae, or Rubiaceae) are especially encouraged to apply.
