Assistant Curator (Herbarium)

You will be responsible for delivering the ‘Flora Explorer’ a Headley Trust funded project focussing on the Guermonprez Herbarium of c10,000 plant specimens. This project aims to unlock the status of the herbarium as initial work has demonstrated that there may be specimens of regional and national significance.

Under the guidance of the Curator of Natural History, you will work through the Guermonprez Herbarium with its associated water colour paintings and correspondence to improve and promote our collections knowledge making the herbarium more accessible to researchers, students, and botanists.
