Graduate Research Assistant Position (MS or PhD) in Entomology at the University of Delaware
Agricultural Entomology Lab, Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, University of Delaware
The Agricultural Entomology Lab at UD is seeking a graduate research assistant (MS or PhD) who is enthusiastic about applying data science and ecoinformatics approaches to understand insect responses to environmental change. The lab has been accumulating moderately large datasets tracking pest and beneficial insect activity in regional monitoring networks that span several years, and is ready for someone to mine them for answers to basic and applied questions. Qualified MS applicants should have some familiarity with R and a strong interest in developing their quantitative skills. Qualified PhD applicants must have a MS degree, proficiency coding in R, and a strong interest in mastery of ecoinformatics approaches.
Start date is flexible, but would ideally be Spring 2024. RA stipends start at $31K and increase by 3% annually.
Interested applicants should email Mike Crossley (crossley@udel.edu) their CV, contact information for references, and a brief statement of past experience, career goals, and their specific interest in the lab.
