The Garden Club of America’s Anne S. Chatham fellowship provides Ph.D. students or recent graduates with $4500 to support direct costs of a one-year research project relating to medicinal plants. Any field of research (e.g., ethnobotany, systematics, ecology, phytochemistry) is eligible so long as the project involves a plant or plants with traditional medicinal uses. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents studying at a U.S.-based institution.

The Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin seeks to fill a faculty position at the Full Professor rank to serve as the Director of the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center (PRC).

The Biology Department at the University of Montana Western seeks a passionate plant biologist dedicated to innovative undergraduate education to join our dynamic group of researchers and educators. The position is a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the assistant or associate professor level. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a teaching approach that will take advantage of Montana Western’s unique immersion scheduling model (Experience One). This block-scheduling model, where students take and faculty teach a single 3.5-week course at a time, is the mission of the campus and an unparalleled opportunity for a talented and creative educator to merge research with undergraduate learning.

From Diana Gamba: I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting as a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of New Mexico in January 2026. I will also be joining the Museum of Southwestern Biology as the Herbarium Curator! Research in my lab will aim to detect general mechanisms of plant evolution in space and time. Using a comparative framework, my lab will investigate the role of life history (i.e., traits associated with mating system, life cycle, physiology, mutualists, enemies) in predicting patterns and mechanisms of adaptation (geographic scale of local adaptation and its genetic architecture, traits and genes under changing selection). I am actively recruiting motivated and creative PhD and MS students to join my research group starting in Fall 2026.
