MS Graduate Assistantship available in Entomology at The Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) to study sustainable, ecologically based cropping systems and their influence on invertebrate pest and natural enemy populations. We are designing cropping-system practices to minimize pest populations, conserve nutrients, soil, energy, and off-farm inputs. The cropping systems were initiated in 2010 by an interdisciplinary team of Penn State and USDA-ARS scientists. See our website for further information (http://plantscience.psu.edu/research/areas/crop-ecology- and-management/cropping-systems). We are seeking graduate applicants for Spring or Fall 2014. For more information, contact: Dr. John Tooker, Department of Entomology (too...@psu.edu; 814- 865-7082) or Dr. Heather Karsten, Department of Plant Sciences (h...@psu.edu; 814-863-3179).
