MS or PhD Graduate Assistantship available in The Department of Entomology at The Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) to study sustainable, ecologically based crop production and its influence on invertebrate pest and natural enemy populations. In a new collaborative, USDA-funded, research project, we are testing hypotheses to help explain, and then minimize, pest outbreaks in diversified vegetable production systems. We are seeking a bright, motivated graduate student ideally to begin in January 2017. Interested candidates should send an email describing their past experience and their motivation for pursuing a graduate degree, along with a single file containing a resume/CV (including GPA and GRE scores), college transcripts (unofficial ok), and the names and contact information for 2-3 references to John Tooker (too...@psu.edu).
