Responsibilities

Responsibilities: This is a 9-month tenure-track position with 70% research and 30% instruction responsibilities focused on understanding how insect populations and communities respond to environmental, landscape, and management factors in southern row crop agroecosystems.

The successful candidate is expected to foster interdisciplinary research, collaborate with Extension specialists, secure extramural funding to support programs and summer salary, publish technical and referred articles, and address emerging challenges in agroecology.

The instructional appointment would support the Entomology graduate and undergraduate curriculums. Instructional responsibilities will include co-instruction in a graduate level insect ecology course, co-instruction of a graduate and undergraduate IPM course (every other year), and an Economic Entomology course.

Service to the department, college, and university is also expected.

The candidate selected for the position must meet eligibility requirements for work in the United States at the time of appointment and continue working legally for the term of employment. Desired qualifications include demonstrated ability to connect ecological processes across various spatial scales; a record of strong quantitative skills using one or more of the following: GIS, Spatial statistics modeling, Remote sensing, Network analysis, or Omics approaches. Evidence of conceptual thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration; a record of publication quality that includes first-author papers, corresponding-author papers, or highly cited papers in well respected or high impact journals; and a record of grantsmanship and graduate student mentorship.

Application: Complete applications must include: 1) a letter of interest, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) statement of teaching philosophy, 4) statement of research philosophy, 5) list three references with all contact information.
