The project will be based in Victoria University’s School of Biological Sciences and is supported by a scholarship funded from a Marsden Fund grant. It will be supervised by Professor Phil Garnock-Jones and Dr Ian Raine. The research involves molecular phylogenetics, historical biogeography, and pollen morphology. The successful candidate will have a good BSc(Hons) or MSc degree in botany, biology, or paleontology. Experience with genetics laboratory techniques is desirable. The scholarship will provide an annual stipend of $20,000, plus domestic university fees, and research expenses.
