Plant Taxonomist and Project Leader required in Reading
We seek an accomplished plant taxonomist, skilled in floristics, to work
as part of a team on the floras of Europe and the Mediterranean. The post
will be in the Euro+Med PlantBase Secretariat (part of the Centre for Plant
Diversity and Systematics) at the School of Plant Sciences in The
University of Reading. The post is for up to one year, under an E.U.
contract, on the post-doctoral research assistant scale around £22522.
This challenging position has become vacant on the departure of the
current holder Dr Liz Caddick for Australia. It involves leading the
taxonomic effort in the Euro+Med PlantBase Secretariat, with others in the
team assisting with database management and taxonomic editing. The
post involves work on floristic treatments and checklists for inclusion in
the Euro+Med on-line database and a certain amount of administration
and report writing. The holder of the post will have experience as a plant
taxonomist, knowledge of the European flora, plus project management
and communication skills. The Co-ordinating Centre at Reading leads
ten other European Centres in this EU RTD Project, and involves working
with an extensive network of experts throughout the Euro-Mediterranean
region. The post will involve travel within the region. Considerable
computer literacy is required and appropriate language skills will be an
advantage.
Further details will be available shortly from Dr Stephen L. Jury,
s.l.jury at rdg.ac.uk
