The research goal is to further our understanding of insect biology and ecology and to contribute to the development and implementation of integrated approaches to arthropod pest management in these and other specialty crops. The candidate will also be responsible for insect identification, oversight of the alfalfa leafcutter bee cocoon testing lab, developing management plans for insect pests of tree fruit crops or other crops as situations arise. The Extension goal is to provide leadership for the development, implementation, evaluation and reporting of Extension education programs relevant to integrated management of arthropod pests of specialty and seed crops. The successful candidate will collaborate with research and Extension faculty in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, and with local, regional, national and international colleagues, present research seminars, participate in professional meetings and publish in peer-refereed journals. The successful candidate must also work with colleagues, commodity groups and others to educate producers and industry professionals about new integrated management technologies via workshops, printed and web-based publications, on-site field demonstrations and other outreach methods. The successful candidate will actively participate in graduate education by chairing and/or serving on graduate committees, supervising theses and dissertation research, and publishing results with graduate students. Extramural program support is expected to be pursued through federal grants, state agencies and private industry. Specific research responsibilities include: Develop an internationally recognized, externally funded, collaborative research program that (1) investigates the biology and ecology of arthropod pests of specialty crops in Western Idaho and (2) develops integrated management solutions for those arthropods. Additional research interests in Landscape Ecology, Landscape Genetics, Vector Biology or other focus areas that complement those of current departmental faculty will be considered. Specific Extension responsibilities include: (1) in response to clientele requests, develop, deliver, evaluate and report a multi-faceted Extension program that increases adoption of IPM strategies among commercial producers of specialty and tree fruit crops and their pest management advisors, (2) address the entomology needs of University of Idaho county Extension educators, including professional development and identifying and/or developing research-based resources for county Extension educators that can be used on the local level with the general public and support for insect identification and management and (3) assist in diagnostic activity related to entomology as needed.
