<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in"><span style="font-size:12pt">The Department of Entomology at Michigan State University (MSU) seeks candidates for a tenure-system position (12 month appointment) in Tree Fruit Entomology at the Assistant Professor
rank, to conduct research and extension in one of the leading and most agriculturally-diverse fruit-growing states in the U.S. The successful candidate will focus on developing management programs for arthropod pests of tree fruits (apples, cherries, etc.)
of economic importance in the Great Lakes region, with an emphasis on alternatives to conventional insecticides such as novel chemistries, biological control, mating disruption, cultural control, and resistant varieties. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Responsibilities: Assignment - research (45%), extension (45%), and teaching (10%). Expectations for the position are to develop an internationally recognized program implementing IPM systems and control strategies
to mitigate the impacts of domestic and invasive arthropod pests of tree fruit; secure substantial competitive external funding; publish in peer-reviewed journals; develop Extension educational materials; and recruit and mentor graduate students to graduation.
A collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to research and extension efforts is preferred, thus the candidate will be expected to work with growers, Extension educators, private industry, and other stakeholders related to the tree fruit industry. In addition,
the successful candidate will develop and teach an annual seminar course of their choosing. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
