Greetings, We're hiring a full-time technician for several summer field experiments in the Insect Ecology group at Purdue University. This position will support ag- focused research related to herbivore-induced plant volatiles and predator/prey interactions, cover crops and beneficial insects, or virus/vector interactions in agroecosystems. See http://www.entm.purdue.edu/ecolab/default.php for more information.
We'd like to find someone enthusiastic about the scope and purpose of our research, who can work independently and stay focused during occasional monotonous tasks (e.g. counting seeds, pulling weeds, etc.). Work will consist of both field and lab activities-- applicants will need to be comfortable handling insects, heat and farm labor. Experience with plant or insect identification are beneficial, but not required. This position will last from May-August, with the potential for extension into the fall. A valid driver's license and a clear driving record are required. Please send a resume, letter of interest and two references to Carmen Blubaugh ([email protected]) and Gina Angelella-White ([email protected]).
