Plant taxonomist and project leader

We seek an accomplished plant taxonomist, skilled in floristics, to work in a
team on the flora 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 three years, under an E.U. contract, on the post-doctoral
research assistant scale £18,185 - £19869 (expected to be increased with year
2000 pay award).

This challenging position is to lead 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 an on-line database in this exciting
development which will lead on from Flora Europaea and MedChecklist. This post
requires skill as a plant taxonomist, knowledge of the European flora, plus
project management and communication skills. The Co-ordinating Centre at
Reading will be leading ten other European Centres in this EU RTD Project, with
an extensive network of experts throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region. The
post will involve extensive travel within the region. Appropriate language
skills will be an advantage.
