POSITION SPECIFICS

The Boyle and Grozinger laboratories in the Department of Entomology at The Pennsylvania State University invite applications for a Non-Tenure Line Assistant Research Professor to lead research on the nutrition, behavior and reproductive physiology of managed bees in response to environmental stressors. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing interdisciplinary projects investigating how diet quality, pesticide exposure, and environmental conditions influence the health and reproductive success of honey bees and solitary bees.

The successful candidate will play a central role in leading and coordinating experimental studies involving bee husbandry, controlled nutrition trials, pesticide treatments and toxicology, behavioral monitoring, and physiological assays, and will oversee data collection and analysis associated with project deliverables. The position will require the integration of experimental ecology, pollinator physiology and quantitative analysis to address questions related to pollinator health and environmental change.

The appointee will work closely with faculty, postdoctoral scholars and graduate students in the Boyle and Grozinger laboratories and across Penn State's Center for Pollinator Research. Responsibilities include leading day-to-day research operations, mentoring students and technicians, managing datasets, and preparing peer reviewed publications and reports. The candidate is also expected to develop independent research directions and pursue external funding to support their research and to contribute to the sustainability of the position.

The successful candidate will be expected to use modern analytical approaches to interpret complex ecological and physiological datasets, including statistical analysis and data visualization using R.

This 100% research position is supported for one year on a 48-week appointment, with potential for renewal contingent upon performance and continued external funding.

Required qualifications include

• A PhD in Entomology, Ecology, Biology or closely related field. The successful candidate must have completed all degree requirements by the appointment date.
