Folks- if you are US citizen and interested, note that I will have a
tech position being announced next week to help with my native bee
and pollination research here in Logan that includes components of
greenhouse and common garden maintenance for my program. A relevant
master's degree, preferably in entomology or botany, is
required. The opening will only be posted for a few weeks, and you
will see that it is very generic (a necessity to bundle it with
others to move forward off a 7-month waiting list). It should show
up here: <https://www.usajobs.gov/>https://www.usajobs.gov/ . There
you will complete a profile that gives your qualifications.
My apologies for cross listing as I cast my net, so to speak,
Yours,
Jim
Our lab's overall mission is Research is the development of non-Apis
bees as crop pollinators. Such bees include, but are not limited to,
mason bees, leafcutting bees, and bumble bees. Research emphasis
areas for non-Apis bees include the development and improvement of
commercial management systems (including pest and disease control
and diagnosis), biology and natural history that relates to bee
management, pollination for crop and seed production, conservation
and ecology, and taxonomy and systematics. Crops that benefit from
cross-pollination, especially crops that are more effectively
pollinated by non-Apis bees than by honey bees or by non-Apis bees
that complement or supplement honey bees, are targeted for
evaluation of pollinator efficacy and improved crop production.
