Ph.D. Assistantship Opportunity
Insect Ecology at Utah State University
The Ramirez Lab at Utah State University-Biology has an opening for a
PhD student with interests in arthropod-plant interactions and
applied entomology beginning Fall 2012. The project is in
collaboration with Texas A&M University-Entomology to examine how
systemic insecticides impact plant defenses and alter plant-herbivore
and predator-prey interactions in agro-ecosystems. The graduate
assistantship will include an annual stipend of ~$20K/year (8 months
RA and 1 semester (4 months) TA/yr), a tuition waiver, and research
support. Prospective students with a background in entomology,
ecology, plant sciences, or biology are encouraged to apply.
To apply, send an email to Ricardo Ramirez
(<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]). Please
provide a CV/resume (include GPA and GRE scores), unofficial
transcripts, a statement of purpose, and contact information for
three references. Review of applications will begin immediately and
continue until the position is filled.
