SLU develops the understanding and sustainable use of biological natural resources. This is achieved through research, teaching, environmental monitoring and assessment and information extension.
SLU has 3 000 employees, 4 200 undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Main campuses are located at Alnarp, Skara, Uppsala and Umeå.
www.slu.seVerksamheten vid fakulteten för landskapsplanering, trädgårds- och jordbruksvetenskap är organiserad i åtta områden. Dessa ersätter de tidigare institutionerna.
LTJ-fakulteten är en bas för utveckling av starka forsknings- och utbildningsmiljöer.
Kraftsamling är nyckelord för fakultetens nya organisation. Duties:
The post doctoral researcher will participate in a project addressing tritrophic interactions in the Brassicaceae-Delia radicum-natural enemies-system. The overall aim of the project is to investigate the impact of complementary biological control strategies on D radicum and interactions between the control agents.
The mechanism to be studied is the interactions between parasitoid natural enemies (Trybliographa rapae and Aleochara bilineata) and entomopathogenic fungi. The sensory cues and the role of chemical signals involved in behavioral decisions regarding parasitoid oviposition and feeding in contact with fungi infected hosts and host environment will be evaluated by electrophysiological analyses. The behavioral response of parasitoids to fungi infected hosts will also be studied.
Qualifications:
Ideal candidates hold a Ph.D. in biology, ecology, agronomy, or other relevant discipline. Candidates should be fluent in spoken and written English. Previous work with biological control, entomopathogenic fungi, insect behavior or electrophysiology is an advantage.
Please add contact information of three referees to your CV and cover letter.
Form of employment: Temporary employment, one year, with a possibility to a one-year extension.
Starting date At the latest 31 January 2011
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
