<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Please circulate to potential graduate students.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A funded Ph.D. position is available immediately to work with me,
Dan Herms, and other collaborators on a project that will use
metabolomic and proteomic approaches coupled with field studies.
The project will be a<font color="#000000"> test of a new ecological
model that integrates the phenomenon of pathogen-induced systemic
resistance with the growth/differentiation balance hypothesis (Bonello
et al. 2006) in tripartite systems that include Austrian pine
(<i>Pinus nigra</i>), the blight and canker pathogen<i> Diplodia
pinea,</i> and two pestiferous insects, the pine engraver (<i>Ips
pini</i>) and the European pine sawfly (<i>Neodiprion
sertifer</i>).</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Prospective candidates should have an
excellent undergraduate record in the biological, ecological, or
agricultural sciences. A master degree in tree pathology,
entomology, or chemical ecology is strongly preferred.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Interested students should verify their
records against our admission requirements
(http://plantpath.osu.edu/graduate-programs/prospective-students/grad<span
></span>uate-funding-and-faqs) before contacting me directly for
information regarding the project.</font></div>
