Vacancy - FOREST PATHOLOGIST
Crown Research Institute Scion undertakes research, science and technology development in forestry, wood product and wood-derived materials and other biomaterials sectors. Scion's purpose is to drive innovation and growth from these sectors to create economic value and contribute to beneficial environmental and social outcomes for New Zealand.
We are seeking a Forest Pathologist to carry out a programme of research with an emphasis on the identification and early detection of pathogens not established in New Zealand and on reducing damage from those already present. The role will include the use and development of molecular tools to support the programme. The successful candidate will join the Forest Protection team which is comprised of 30+ pathologists, entomologists, botanists, pest management and fire researchers.
Our ideal candidate will have a PhD or equivalent degree coupled with at least 5 - 10 years research experience in plant/forest pathology, with skills in molecular techniques. This is a full time permanent role.
Scion is proud to offer talented and motivated individuals the unique opportunity to pursue a fulfilling professional career. With its head office based on the edge of Rotorua's world-famous Whakarewarewa Forest, Scion also offers an enviable working environment with excellent work/life balance initiatives. Rotorua is one of New Zealand's leading tourist destinations owing to its outstanding natural environment and proximity to coastal beaches and inland lakes, native forests, geothermal areas and volcanic ski-fields.
Closing date: 28th January 2011

Harry Potter and other misc stuff
Folks,
(!) What do you recommend for dissolving the glue on sticky traps?
I'm thinking of cutting up sections of a sticky trap and shaking them up
in misc solvents to find the best one
(!!) I believe I had read some place that mixing ethyl acetate
with alcohol would produce a mixture to mimic a declining tree. As I can
not, now find my reference, can any one confirm this ?
(!!!) Although I have never seen beech Bark Disease on a
European Beech, for a fraction of a second I thought I saw its symptoms
while watching the most recent Harry Potter movie. Can anyone confirm? It
is an insect mediated disease!
Yours,
Dr. Martin MacKenzie, Forest Pathologist
