<DIV>TITLE: Postdoctoral extension specialist<BR></DIV>
<DIV>LOCATION: Department of Entomology<BR>Campus Box 7613<BR>North Carolina
State University<BR>Raleigh, NC 27695-7613<BR></DIV>
<DIV>APPOINTMENT: Position available January 1, 2009. Guaranteed funding for one
year with possible<BR>extensions pending additional funding<BR></DIV>
<DIV>SALARY: Commensurate with qualifications and experience<BR></DIV>
<DIV>DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: This is a postdoctoral position available in
the Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, within the NC
Agricultural Extension Service. It includes responsibilities in the field,
classroom, and apiary. Some research functions are involved in the position,
such as routine data collection and analysis, but these activities constitute a
minor component. Rather, the majority of the incumbent’s duties will be to
develop an active educational program involving queen rearing and bee breeding,
including workshops on raising queens for beekeepers at the part-time and
commercial levels and advanced clinics on instrumental<BR>insemination and
breeding techniques.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: The incumbent is expected to have both practical
experience in beekeeping and<BR>theoretical knowledge of apiculture (the study
of honey bees and their management). Such a background should be in conjunction
with academic training in apiculture, namely a Ph.D. degree in the biological or
life sciences with a concentration in honey bee biology. The capability to
communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, are important assets.
Abilities to conduct scientific research and to work with others are also
necessary attributes.<BR>Applicants with skills or knowledge in queen rearing,
instrumental insemination, and honey bee genetics will be given special
consideration.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>APPLICATION: Interested persons are requested to submit: (1) curriculum
vitae; (2) separate statements of<BR>extension and research experience and
interests; (3) copies of official University transcripts; and (4) names and
addresses of at least three individuals who are familiar with the candidate’s
beekeeping and extension abilities.<BR></DIV>
