I am advertising for a 2 year position at the Kew herbarium to complete our taxonomic work on Malagasy Digitaria grasses, and compile our new guidebook to the common Malagasy highland grasses. Someone familiar with taxonomic literature and guidebooks, someone who likes grasses, and someone good at international comms and keen to work in Madagascar would be perfect.

The NTNU University Museum is seeking a highly qualified and motivated candidate for an associate professor position in integrative taxonomy and phylogenetics. The position is part of NTNUs ambitious Onsager program and includes substantial research funding with the goal of qualifying for full professor and receive tenure within 6 years.

The position is central to improve the knowledge of species and their evolutionary relationships in taxon rich organism groups and important for strengthening collection-based research at the Department of Natural History. More specifically, the successful candidate will carry out cutting-edge research within the field of taxonomy and phylogenetics using a combination of tools and data (morphological, molecular, ecological, symbiome, etc.) to analyse biodiversity at the species-level.
