hela Sverige The Swedish Museum of Natural History is a government agency with a mandate to promote knowledge, research and interest in our world. It is a prominent research institution and Sweden's largest museum. For more than 200 years, the museum has been collecting specimens and data and conducting research on life on earth. The collections contain more than 11 million plants, animals, fungi, environmental samples, minerals and fossils. All research and knowledge are shared in the exhibitions, Cosmonova and in activities at the museum and digitally.
Investigating and clarifying the earth's biodiversity is more important than ever, because of the ongoing climate change and mass extinction. The knowledge of what species exist is deficient and many of them disappear before we even know they existed. The Swedish Museum of Natural History has long played a significant role in the study of botanical and
mycological diversity through its extensive collections, knowledgeable experts and skilled researchers. Making the collections digitally available for research, nature conservation and the public, has high priority.
The Department of Botany is now looking for a well-qualified researcher with experience in the fungal group Tremellomycetes, with focus on diversity, evolution and genetics of fungi (including lichens).
