If you would like to present (either oral or poster) at the Congress, you should submit an abstract by visiting http://www.iufro2010.com then click on ?online abstract submission on the right?. You will be prompted to establish a login ID and password prior to submitting an abstract. If you would like to submit an abstract for one of the sessions in our Congress Theme ?Frontiers in forest and tree health? listed below, we suggest that you contact the listed session coordinator to make sure that there is still room in the session, before submitting an abstract with that session designated. It is also possible to submit an abstract without designating any of the existing sessions. To do this, you should still select ?Frontiers in Forest Health? as the Congress theme but select ?other? as the session. The Congress Organizing Committee will organize these ?other? presentations into sessions with similar content. Finally, plans are being made for a special 2-day post-conference forest health tour. As part of the tour, we would visit various forest stands for first-hand view of some of the important insect and disease problems in Korea.

The major duties of the position are: 1. Conducts research and develops new approaches to biological control of invasive insect pests of trees. 2. Uses modern molecular techniques and DNA-based tools to study the ecological roles of biological control organisms in their native and introduced ranges. 3. Conducts laboratory and field experiments to optimize the rearing, establishment, spread, and impact of biological control agents for regulating pest populations. 4. Conducts exploration for additional biological control agents of introduced forest pests as needs arise. 5. Plans and conducts research to understand the multitrophic ecological interactions that impact biological control efficacy. 6. Analyzes and interprets research results, prepares reports and manuscripts for publication, and presents papers and talks to professional and lay audiences. Research will initially focus on predators of hemlock woolly adelgid, but opportunities to work on biological control of other invasive insects, such as Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer, or Sirex woodwasp will be available. The Hamden CT area is located just north of New Haven CT and has a cooperative relationship with Yale University with opportunities to work with the University community. The position is open to both public (must be a US citizen to apply) and government employees on USAJOBS. Questions can be directed to me at the address, phone, or email listed below.
