Post-Doctoral Research Position Native Medicinal Plant Research Program Kansas Biological Survey University of Kansas Position Announcement
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION The Kansas Biological Survey is seeking a Post-Doctoral Research Position for the Native Medicinal Plant Research Program and the research laboratory of Dr. Kelly Kindscher. The lab is focused on ethnobotany, plant ecology, conservation biology, and medicinal plants research. The unclassified staff position will begin on June 1, 2010, at the University of Kansas, Kansas Biological Survey office near 21st and Iowa Streets in Lawrence, Kansas. Funding for the full-time ($40,000 to $43,000/year) position will be provided by grants to Kelly Kindscher (University of Kansas) for work focused on developing a Native Medicinal Plant Research Program (a project focused on ethnobotany, conservation biology, plant ecology, restoration ecology, and the study of medicinal plants) and other projects of the lab. We seek a highly motivated and dedicated individual to participate in collaborative work for these projects. Four years of funding is available for this project, and it is expected that additional funding for this position will be obtained. The Post-doc has a unique opportunity to combine data that is being collected on the ecological and geographical characteristics of many species of native medicinal plants collected from multiple locations across the Great Plains and to compare this with data on the presence and concentration of secondary compounds (medicinal constituents) in these species.
