[Pollinator] Postdoc: UNCG Honey bee health and social evolution

[Olav Rueppell]

I am happy to announce:

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN HONEY BEE HEALTH AND SOCIAL EVOLUTION

The collaborative team of Dr. Olav Rueppell (University of North
Carolina at Greensboro), Dr. David Tarpy (North Carolina State
University), and Dr. Micheline Strand (Army Research Office) is
seeking a scientist to head a research project on inducible stress
defenses and hormesis in honey bees. The overall project goals are to
assess the potential of inducible stress defense mechanisms to improve
honey bee health and to test fundamental hypotheses of social
evolution. The position at the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro involves advanced apicultural experiments, bioassays,
molecular tests, and functional genomic studies. Thus, a combination
of field and laboratory work is anticipated.

The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in life sciences and exhibit
outstanding research promise. In addition, demonstration of a high
level of scientific productivity, technical skills in apiculture,
molecular biology, and/or functional genomics, and excellent English
communication and organizational skills are desired. Upon final
budgetary approval, the initial appointment will be made for one year,
with the possibility of a two-year extension. Salary will depend on
qualifications.

To apply submit statement of interest, CV, and contact information for
3 academic references through the University of North Carolina at
