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….

Dear all,
The International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO) and
the National Agricultural Research Institute of Uruguay (INIA) are
glad to invite forest pathologists and entomologists from all over the
world, to the IUFRO Forest Entomology – Forest Pathology Joint Meeting
to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, on 8th – 11th November, 2011.
Uruguay, as other countries in South America, has experienced an
amazing development in forestry in the last 15 years, reaching a
million hectares planted with Eucalypt and Pine species and an
increase in the research on the potentialities of a sustainable
forestry of the more than 800,000 hectares of native forests.
The meeting will be held in Colonia del Sacramento, a former
Portuguese settlement declared UNESCO world heritage in 1995. This
enchanting place will attract attendees and speakers from around the
world, making this a unique experience for forest pathologists, forest
entomologist and tree health scientists.
Information about the venue and call for papers will be announced soon
at http://www.iufro.org/events/calendar/current/
Save the Date!
November 8-11, 2011

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.

Subject
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
