*Assistant Professor - Fruit Crop Entomology Job Summary:*
The Department of Entomology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison is
seeking to fill a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Extension
Fruit Crop Entomology to provide leadership in developing outreach and
research to address the needs of stakeholders and improve management of
Wisconsin's fruit-crops (i.e., apple, cranberry, grape, small
fruits/berries). Wisconsin is an agriculturally and ecologically diverse
state and thus an integrative approach to Extension and research is needed,
including management of fruit crop entomological pests as well as
developing novel and innovative approaches.

A successful candidate will be expected to develop and lead a regionally
and nationally recognized Extension program supported by a strong research
program in the area of sustainable fruit crop management with emphasis on
pest and beneficial arthropods. The candidate will conduct applied and
basic research that will inform crop management recommendations and support
fruit extension needs throughout the state. Outcomes of these efforts are
intended to build resiliency and overall sustainability of fruit crop and
surrounding natural systems. Recommendations will be conveyed through
extension outreach avenues such as websites, social media, field days,
grower meetings, and the Wisconsin Fruit newsletter. This person will be
part of the existing University of Wisconsin commercial fruit Extension
team, which includes a horticulturist, plant pathologist, and weed
scientist. This specialization will also lend support to Extension
entomology colleagues assigned to other commodities.

We are especially interested in candidates whose research interests can
provide a scientific understanding of the main entomological factors
influencing fruit crop production in Wisconsin. We encourage applicants
with backgrounds working on fundamental biology of arthropods in fruit crop
systems. This faculty position carries a commitment to research and
outreach, and may include some teaching, as well as professional and
university service as appropriate to faculty rank.
