*Duties*

*Summary*

This position is located in the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Field
Organization, Northeast Area, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center
(BARC), Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory, in Beltsville,
MD.

The incumbent research involves isolation and identification of natural and
synthetic chemicals that affect arthropod behavior, synthesis of compounds
for bioassays, and development of new strategies for use of
behavior-modifying chemicals in integrated pest management.

*Responsibilities*

   - Conceive and establish a research project and develop collaborative
   efforts within ARS and outside the Agency with national and international
   scientists to enhance research efforts.
   - Discover and identify new biologically active natural products that
   can be useful in monitoring or managing economically important arthropods.
   - Develop methods for use of new compounds in integrated pest management
   practice that will reduce or eliminate dependence upon pesticide-based
   control programs.
   - Identify compounds by using sophisticated instrumental techniques such
   as GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
   spectroscopy, and micro-chemical reactions.
   - Perform close interaction between chemical, electrophysiological,
   biochemical, and entomological disciplines, as well as the ability to
   correlate chemical structure, biological activity, and function.
   - Act as a bridge between the disciplines to enhance the probability of
   successful scientific and pragmatic outcomes of the research program
   through an extensive network of cooperating agencies.
