The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History currently has openings for two full- time Research Botanists. The Department of Botany seeks candidates with demonstrated expertise in, and a commitment to, collections-based research centered on plant systematics and evolution. Those with a research program focusing on the systematics of lichens, marine algae, or large angiosperm families for which the United States National Herbarium has strong holdings (e.g., Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Melastomataceae, Orchidaceae, or Rubiaceae) are especially encouraged to apply.

Hesler Visiting Researcher Fellowships
Visiting Researcher Fellowships provide opportunities for scientists to use the collections at the University of Tennessee Herbarium (TENN) in Knoxville, Tennessee to enhance and facilitate a biodiversity-focused research project. TENN houses over 649,000 specimens of vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens. Our vascular plant collection is unique in having the largest collection of specimens from the state of Tennessee and the historical collections documenting the flora of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a World Biosphere Reserve. Our bryophyte collection houses 183,000 specimens from throughout the world, with a strong emphasis on species found in Tennessee (Appalachian Region), North America (particularly the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and the southeastern US), Mexico, and Asia. Our fungal collection houses nearly 73,000 specimens with searchable online records, including international and domestic collections with an emphasis on the southern Appalachians.
Graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and independent researchers from any country are eligible to apply. Funds are for travel, housing, and other visit-related expenses while conducting research at the TENN Herbarium. A maximum of two awards will be given out annually.
