The Brown University Herbarium contains approximately 120,000 specimens,
many of which are significant to New England botanical history. Recently,
the collection has acquired two large sets of uncurated vascular plant
specimens and fungi from other regional herbaria.

The Herbarium Curatorial Assistant is responsible for day-to-day management
of the collection, including all aspects of its preservation, improvement,
development, and use. A primary goal of this position is to work with the
Director to catalog and intercalate these sets into the collection while
continuing ongoing projects relating to digitizing and curating the
existing collections. Duties include organizing the digital and physical
components of the collections, mounting and repairing specimens,
identifying and annotating type specimens, responding to loan requests,
updating taxonomy, working with researchers, and promoting the research and
educational mission of the Herbarium. This position also requires
correspondence with other herbaria, scientists, and conservation
organizations; administering the Herbarium’s volunteer program; and
assisting with supervision of undergraduate student workers.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at
rebecca_kartzinel at brown.edu.

Thank you!
