The newly endowed John Otto Haas Molecular Ecologist will conduct research at Morris Arboretum & Gardens with a focus on techniques that integrate fieldwork and herbarium collections with resources from the Plant Science Laboratory. The successful candidate will use molecular tools to investigate evolutionary patterns (e.g., conservation genetics, functional genomics), spatial dynamics (e.g., landscape genetics, phylogeography), and/or community-scale processes or community c

The Eli Kirk Price Plant Science Apprentice is a joint position between Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania and The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. This apprenticeship provides training in managing both physical and digital herbarium collections, as well as and experience in botanical research conducted in the field, laboratory, and herbarium settings. This apprenticeship program is designed for post-baccalaureates who have already c

A postdoctoral research associate is sought to develop tools to mobilize data in herbarium specimens for conservation action, as part of a project funded through the Bezos Earth Fund’s AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge. The postdoctoral research associate will report to Emily Sessa, Patricia K. Holmgren Director of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium at NYBG. Herbaria—scientific collections of preserved plant specimens—represent one of the most important frontiers
