Temporary Botany Research Assistant

This project aims to make specimens from the Economic Botany Collection accessible and useful to local communities of relevance and to communities across the globe. It is focussed on plant specimens from south-east Asia. The Research Assistant will provide support for the Project Leader by improving documentation for the collection, working with the collection database (CMS) and scanning plant specimens. They will also contribute to participatory workshops and facilitate access to digital images for the co-production of extended, multimedia – blogs and promote the project via social media.
