The Flora of China project is the first internationally based

environment in order to preserve and enrich life."

The selected individual will edit manuscripts; verify bibliographical
citations; correspond with co-authors; prepare the scientific index
and the project's newsletter; develop a database regarding the
novelties, nomenclatural changes, and distribution of extensions of
Chinese taxa; complete and update the Chinese taxonomic literature;
produce taxonomic treatments; and create accounts and illustrations,
in collaboration with other Research staff, and make them available on
the Gopher and World Wide Web.

The ideal candidate will possess a Ph.D. in taxonomy and a strong
