Botany

Conduct independent research on South African flora, particularly systematic botany and geographical distribution, with a host at UCT or SANBI Kirstenbosch. The 12-month fellowship preferably starts in the first quarter of 2027 and provides up to ZAR 275,000 for the fellowship plus ZAR 75,000 for research costs. Applicants of any nationality may apply. Submit a single PDF with a cover letter, proposal of up to 2,500 words, CV, transcripts and degree certificates by 30 September 2026. Three referee reports and a host endorsement must also arrive by that date under the call’s separate submission instructions.

Lead an approximately 15-person team responsible for plant, invertebrate and genetic-variation resources in Ensembl and the European Variation Archive. This faculty position combines scientific strategy, genomic data services, staff and budget management, fundraising and community partnerships. The team supports crop genomics and variation research across species. The appointment is for five years, renewable up to nine, with hybrid working in Hinxton.

The University of São Paulo's Institute of Chemistry seeks a postdoctoral fellow to investigate how chemistry mediates interactions between plants and herbivores, with particular emphasis on biotransformations in lepidopteran digestive systems. The position is part of a FAPESP Thematic Project on molecular diversity and the specificity of plant-herbivore interactions.
