I have funding to support a graduate research assistantship for a M.S. or Ph.D. in the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University. My lab studies the ecology of insects in agriculture with a focus on the interactions among plants, herbivores, and natural enemies. The current project addresses how insects respond to different soil tillage practices, in particular the ecology of fear in food webs, in organic agroecosystems. Student applicants should be highly enthusiastic and interested in working at the interface of ecology, entomology, and agriculture.
The position comes with an annual stipend, full tuition waiver, and benefits package including health insurance. Preferred start date is Summer or Fall 2015, although this may be flexible.
