Applications are now open for the Missouri Botanical Garden (St. Louis, MO) NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) summer program in 2018 (June 4 - August 10).
The Department of Biology at the University of Central Oklahoma seeks applicants for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor of Biology position with a focus in Plant Biology to begin in the fall of 2018.
The School of Biology and Ecology seeks a plant evolutionary biologist for an academic year, full-time, tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level. We are interested in a broadly trained scientist who integrates ecological and whole-plant level investigations with cellular and/or molecular approaches to questions in plant adaptation, systematics and speciation, conservation, and/or domestication.
A new solicitation specifically for RCN-UBE & RCN-UBE Incubator proposals which were previously described in a specialized track of the general RCN program, with submission deadlines in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

The Department of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University seeks an outstanding senior scholar at the rank of Full Professor to fill a nine-month, tenured appointment as the Dr. Shirley C. Tucker Chair in Plant Systematics.
Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) seeks a highly motivated Research Botanist with a primary focus on plant systematics and complementary interests in floristics, ecology, and/or conservation.
We are searching for a highly creative and interactive scholar who fits into our multidisciplinary department. The area and system of study are open, although we are most interested in candidates who will address fundamental topics in ecological and/or evolutionary theory through the use of quantitative approaches.
A position is available for a Ph.D. student to investigate the impact of abiotic and biotic factors on the diversification of flowering plants by using the species-rich and ecologically important genus Piper as a model. This research will focus on three evolutionary forces: i) climate, i) pollination (a mutualistic process benefiting both the plant and its partner) and iii) plants' chemical defense (an antagonistic process developed to counteract insect herbivory).
