Graduate Fellowships from Penn State’s Insect Biodiversity Center



Penn State’s newly formed Insect Biodiversity Center will support up to
three fellowships for MSc or PhD students for 2020. These fellowships will
provide four semesters of support (salary, fringe, tuition).



The Fellowships will be structured similarly to our Integrative Pollinator
Ecology Fellowships, to support transdisciplinary training and research.
Fellows must have two co-mentors whose expertise is from different
disciplines. Co-mentors from different departments or Colleges are
preferred; for example, research programs can span entomology, plant
science, chemistry, engineering, economics, geography, climate science,
sociology, or communication science. Possible research areas include
elucidating and modeling the physiological, behavioral, landscape and
climate level drivers of insect population distributions and declines, and
strategies for engaging communities of stakeholders, policymakers and the
public in managing these populations.



Interested students can apply through any program within the Penn State
College of Agricultural Sciences. More information on the Entomology
Graduate Program can be found on their website. Prospective students are
strongly encouraged to contact prospective mentors in advance of submitting
an application. Students who apply to Entomology by 15 December 2019 and
are highly ranked may be invited to the Departmental invitation-only
Graduate Student Recruitment Weekend in early Feb 2020. Students that
enroll will require successful completion of background check(s) in
accordance with University policies. Penn State is committed to affirmative
action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.



For more information, please contact the Director of the Insect
Biodiversity Center, Dr. Christina Grozinger, cmg25 at psu.edu and/or the
Program Coordinator, Dr. Natalie Boyle, nmb5846 at psu.edu.
