The University Museum conducts research, collection management and dissemination within the fields of both natural and cultural history. The Arboretum and Botanic Gardens are organized as a section under the Department of Natural History. The section has a staff of ~20 technical and administrative positions. In addition to the Museum Gardens on the University Campus in central Bergen, it includes the Botanical Gardens and the Norwegian Arboretum at Milde ca. 22 km south of the city center.

We are seeking an active researcher within the fields of vascular plant systematics and evolution, phylogenetics, evolutionary relationships, taxonomy, plant biodiversity and underlying evolutionary processes, or related fields. The research should be relevant to the collections in the Arboretum.

Applicants must be able to document research activity and production on an international level within one or more of these fields. The successful candidate must also document the ability to attract external funding. It is also expected that the successful candidate will take part in the teaching of botany at UiB and contribute to the internordic research school in biosystematics, ForBio. The successful candidate will also be taking part in the development of new natural history exhibitions.
