[Ladadams at aol.com]

TITLE: Postdoctoral extension specialist

LOCATION: Department of Entomology
Campus Box 7613
North Carolina  State University
Raleigh, NC 27695-7613

APPOINTMENT: Position available January 1, 2009. Guaranteed funding for one  
year with possible
extensions pending additional funding

SALARY: Commensurate with qualifications and experience

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
insemination and  breeding techniques.
 
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: The incumbent is expected to have both practical  
experience in beekeeping and
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.
Applicants with skills or knowledge in queen rearing,  instrumental 
insemination, and honey bee genetics will be given special  consideration.

APPLICATION: Interested persons are requested to submit: (1) curriculum  
vitae; (2) separate statements of
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.
