>>POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN CHEMICAL ECOLOGY IN HONEY BEES AT THE
>>UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT GREENSBORO
>>
>>A highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow is sought for a
>>collaborative project to study the signals that elicit hygienic behavior
>>of honey bees towards brood to combat Varroa mites. This natural defense
>>against the most detrimental parasite is critical for improving honey bee
>>health and ensuring the sustainability of apiculture and its pollination
>>services. The primary location for this project will be the Rueppell lab
>>at UNCG and the project will be performed in collaboration with Marla
>>Spivak (University of Minnesota), Coby Schal (North Carolina State
>>University) and Jocelyn Millar (University of California at Riverside).
>>We seek an independent scientist who is interested in working with us on
>>experiments at the interface between chemical ecology and fundamental and
>>applied apicultural research.
>>
>>While the primary responsibility of this position is the identification
>>of chemical elicitors of hygienic behavior, including bioassay-guided
>>fractionation of extracts and/or volatile mixtures, testing the
>>bioactivity of candidate substances, and advancing potential practical
>>applications of the results, the candidate may initiate experiments to
>>realize related research ideas. An excellent track record of research
>>productivity, willingness to travel, analytical thinking, team working,
>>and good English communication skills are essential. Practical experience
>>with insect behavioral assays, expertise in chemical ecology, and an
>>interest in honey bee health are preferred.
>>
>>The Rueppell lab currently consists of two postdocs and multiple graduate
>>and undergraduate students who work in honey bees on a variety of topics.
>>The advertised position is full-time and salary will be commensurate with
>>experience. The position is pending financial approval from USDA and will
>>have a likely start date of March 2017 in the Department of Biology at
>>the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. It will be initially
>>offered for one year, with potential renewals for two additional years.
>>
>>To learn more or to apply for this position please visit the
>>UNCGjobsearch website at https://jobsearch.uncg.edu and review position
>>#999099.
>>
>>UNCG is an EEO/AA employer with a strong commitment to increasing
>>diversity. EOE AA/M/F/D/V.
>>
>>For best consideration, please apply before 15 Febuary 2017. The position
>>will stay open until filled.
