About the JobPostdoc in Phytochemical Insect Pest Management
Qualifications:
Minimum
Preferred
This position will be required to be in the Twin Cities full time and in person.
Primary Duties
The candidate will conduct research for the University of Minnesota Plant Metabolomics
laboratory working on identifying plant extracts that can be applied to various Horticultural plant
species to repel Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica).
(40%)
Beetle feeding assays:
As part of a Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pests
Center (MITPPC)-funded project, the candidate will help design and implement laboratory
assays of beetle feeding preference. This will include selection of appropriate strategies based
on current published standards for such measurement techniques, the assembly of the needed
apparatus, and the design and implementation of assay protocols in our laboratory. The assays
will be conducted as part of a team of researchers and so the candidate will be expected to
work with and consult with other team members in the selection and design of the assays and to
assist others in learning how to perform the assays independently.
(20%): Conduct field spray trial: The candidate will design and implement a field spray trial of a
commercial putative insect deterrent formulation to be coordinated by Associate Professor Mary
Rogers.
(15%): Program coordination: The candidate will help coordinate the MITPPC-funded project,
including grant reporting, scheduling collaborative meetings, outreach to stakeholders, and
other needed activities. The candidate will also serve as a liaison between the Plant
Metabolomics team and the MITPPC.
(15%)
Phytochemical extraction and analysis:
The candidate will work with other members of
the team to prepare plant extracts and purified fractions of the extracts for testing using the
beetle feeding assays, and to collect and interpret chemical analyses of the extracts/fractions.
(10%)
Leadership and Mentoring:
The candidate will attend regular group lab meetings and may
be asked to lead group lab meetings. The candidate will also be expected to supervise and
mentor undergraduate researchers and graduate student researchers as needed.
More Information
The Plant Metabolomics lab at the University of Minnesota is part of the Department of
Horticultural Science in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences. More
