The Living with Locusts project invites applicants for two positions to join our dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary team. Start times can be flexible but the positions are available immediately. The positions will be primarily based in the lab of Dr. Arianne Cease where we connect lab and field research to understand mechanisms of ecological and organismal function across multiple levels. Successful candidates will also work closely with the insect physiology lab of Dr. Jon Harrison at ASU, in addition to more distantly working with our other collaborators. These collaborators include natural scientists, social scientists, government agencies, community organizations, and farmers from North America and our field sites in Senegal, Australia, China, and Argentina. Please email Arianne (ace...@asu.edu) with any questions. http://livingwithlocusts.org https://cease.lab.asu.edu http://jharrison.faculty.asu.edu
