The San Diego Botanic Garden is fortunate to be starting an exciting new project on medicinal plants, focused on a) assembling a use-driven medicinal plants collection at the Garden; b) establishing a consortium of experts to advise the ongoing development of the collection; c) developing collection maintenance strategies and coordinating with partners to enable metabolite discovery; and d) establishing a publicly accessible medicinal plants garden for public education and engagement. This is highly integrated with San Diego based research institutes (especially Salk Institute and UCSD) and also drug discovery partners, both public and private.

We are hiring a scientist position (equivalent to postdoc level) to help facilitate the project. The job description can be found at: https://www.sdbgarden.org/employment.htm
