We seek a Postdoctoral Researcher to participate in research investigating chemical ecology based alternatives to neonicotinoid pesticides. The postdoc will oversee research investigating techniques for manipulating plant resistance for protection from seed corn maggot and other pests, in particular how multiple approaches can be combined. In addition, the postdoc will conduct a literature review of chemical ecology practices and how they are best used in an integrated pest management framework. This includes leading laboratory and field experiments and conducting a literature review. Experiments will work largely with seed corn maggot and other pests and pathogens of northeastern corn. The literature review will focus on chemical ecology approaches in corn and other crops of agricultural importance in the northeast. Position is available immediately but the start date is flexible until next spring. Contact Jennifer with inquiries.
