Dear colleagues,

I apologize if you receive this multiple times.

Please make interested candidates aware of an open PhD assistantship at The Ohio State University to work on molecular mechanisms of ash resistance to the emerald ash borer.  The position is available beginning in Autumn 2011 and is housed in the Dept. of Plant Pathology.  The student will be advised by me and will be part of a large project working on this topic area, including the groups of Daniel Herms and Omprakash Mittapalli in Entomology at OSU, Donald Cipollini in Biological Sciences at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, and Jennifer Koch at the US Forest Service Northern Research Station in Delaware, Ohio.

Candidates already possessing a Masters of Science in entomology or plant pathology with expertise in modern molecular and/or chemical analytical tools are preferred, but this is not an absolute requirement.  Outstanding candidates should apply as soon as possible through our website: http://plantpath.osu.edu/graduate-programs/prospective-students/application-procedures.

Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to distribute as you see fit.

Thank you for your assistance in publicizing this opportunity.
