MS or PhD Graduate Assistantships available in Agronomy, Entomology, and Soil Science at The Pennsylvania State University to study sustainable cropping systems based on ecological principles. Cropping-system practices are being designed to minimize pest populations, conserve nutrients, soil, energy, and off-farm inputs. A recently funded 3-year project with a team of Penn State and USDA-ARS scientists, is seeking graduate applicants for 2009/2010 (even though it is late in the application process) and for 2010/2011. For more information, contact: Dr. Heather Karsten or Dr. Douglas Beegle, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences (h...@psu.edu; 814-863-3179; d...@psu.edu); or Dr. John Tooker, Department of Entomology (too...@psu.edu; 814-865-7082).
