<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The following announcement for a Research Entomologist position with the USDA-ARS Subtropical Horticulture Research Station (SHRS), Miami, Florida
has been posted on <a href="http://USAJOBS.GOV" target="_blank" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">USAJOBS.GOV</a>. The announcement will open Wednesday, March 17, 2021 through Friday, April 16, 2021. The incumbent
<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,29,29)">develops detection systems and pest suppression strategies for exotic pest insects that pose a threat to U.S. agriculture</span>.
<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,29,29)">Specifically, research objectives will be: 1) Research on basic biology and behavior of pests that have recently invaded the U.S. through Florida; 2) Develop new/improved semiochemical-based trapping systems for invasive insect pests
and their biological control agents. Each new species will require pioneering work and new bioassay techniques to address problems associated with research on invasive pests such as difficulties in obtaining large numbers of individuals of known age and physiological
state needed for semiochemical research, as well as limited knowledge of the insect's biology. Chemical cues will be investigated in collaboration with chemists and physiologists; 3) Integrate newly developed detection and control strategies with existing
technologies and systems to provide management programs for exotic insects. Effective methods for population estimation based on trap interpretation will also be developed to accurately reflect changes due to movement, mortality and reproduction. For pests
that have not yet invaded the U.S., research will be conducted with international collaborators that will facilitate research where pest populations exist.</span><u style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></u><u style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></u></span></p>
