Habenaria jaegeri is a narrowly endemic orchid species, with only a handful of individuals remaining in its natural habitat. Ongoing and intensifying mining activities pose a critical threat to the species’ survival, placing it at imminent risk of extinction. As H. jaegeri faces severe population decline and ongoing habitat loss, this role will contribute to an urgent, science‑based recovery effort focused on ex situ propagation and reintroduction. This project aims to develop a scalable and reproducible methodology for producing high‑quality seedlings and, ultimately, tubers for conservation translocation back into the wild in Guinea.
Job Responsibility:
Production of resilient tubers from in vitro–raised seedlings
induction of dormancy and successful resprouting
in vitro stress-tolerance trial simulating drought conditions
producing planting material for conservation translocation
Requirements:
Undergraduate with at least two years of university education or a graduate who has completed their degree in the last two years
degree in biology or biochemistry
hands-on experience in aseptic culture techniques is preferred
