Outstanding opportunities for collection-based research, teaching and mentoring in a highly collaborative, inclusive and supportive academic environment. Collections-based research foci could include, but are not limited to: plant conservation, plant responses to climate change, plant-fungal interactions, plant biogeography, the ecological impact of invasive plants, crop-wild relatives and plant domestication, plant-centered data science, ethnobotany, and systematics and evolution.
Applications are sought from early career scientists and collections professionals who see new opportunities and innovations for collections-based plant and/or fungal research
The College seeks to extend its tradition of excellence in teaching and scholarship by attracting faculty who combine mastery of their disciplines with broad intellectual interests and commitment to the aims of a liberal arts college.
