A bit about us
At Plant & Food Research (PFR), we believe science can create a better future. By finding smarter, greener options today, we're helping secure the world we want to live in tomorrow. With our partners, we use world-leading science to improve the way they grow, fish, harvest and share food. Every day, we have 1,000 people working across Aotearoa New Zealand and the world to help deliver healthy foods from the world's most sustainable and innovative systems.
What you'll be doing
Are you excited by the opportunities presented by a science group in the area of Ecological Pest Management? Keen to bring your science leadership skills into a team that delivers national crop protection and sustainability capability for temperate fruit crops including both apples and summerfruit?
Your strong leadership skills will be advantageous to developing a highly collaborative team environment and to provide scientific guidance and mentoring a small team of research staff. Your expertise, technical input and science leadership will be valuable working across a range of projects focusing on pome fruits and other temperate fruit crops.
Using your strong communication skills you will work collaboratively and share research findings with other project members, industry and conference attendees and prepare client and internal reports and where appropriate publish manuscripts in high quality scientific journals.

Dear All,
As you are aware, IUFRO has planned a Regional Congress in Russia from September 23 - 25, 2022. Due to the events that are unfolding in Ukraine, the leadership team of Division 7 has informed IUFRO headquarters that we will not be participating in the congress, either in person or remotely. This message is to inform you of the stance that we have taken within Division 7.
IUFRO Headquarters is currently developing a response for this situation that will speak for all of IUFRO.

Dear friends and colleagues,
Attached is the Second announcement and a call for abstracts for the All-Division 7 Forest Health (pathology and entomology) conference in Lisbon, 6-9 September 2022.
We have decided to change the format to a hybrid conference which will allow participation in person or via Zoom. However, we hope that we will have a large number of participants coming to Lisbon to enable more personal interactions and to allow participation with the field trips and other side events. With most countries starting to relax their COVID measures and restrictions and with summer coming up, we are optimistic that in-person participation will be possible.
We encourage you to make use of the reduced early registration fee by registering before 30 April 2022. Please note, online participation will incur a registration fee because we need to recover the costs of the conference venue and online facilities and their operation. Changing registrations from in person to online participation and vice versa will be possible (in case you change your mind).
For more information, see the attached document which also has a link to the conference website.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries (email iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt).
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon in about seven months!
Kind regards
Manuela Branco, José Carlos Franco and Ecki Brockerhoff

Hello all,
I am really thrilled to share the attached position description for the forest entomologist search now underway here at Ohio State University. For those of you who know him, this is the descendant of the position previously covered by Dan Herms.
Concurrently, our School of Environment and Natural Resources is searching for a junior faculty in Ecological Forestry and Restoration. I would expect potential synergies in this area as it may pertain to restoration after alien pest incursions.
Please spread the word to your local networks. We are trying to reach the widest possible audience of outstanding forest entomologists.
Any questions about the position can be addressed as described in the job ad. Anyone interested in potentially collaborating with me, please feel free to ask questions!
All the best,
Enrico

The Department of Entomology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is inviting applications for the post of Assistant Professor, twelve-month, tenure track appointment, research responsibility (75%), teaching responsibility (25%).
The successful applicant will develop and conduct an active research program in the area of Forest Entomology to include development of strategies to manage forest pests or forest health. This position requires a balance of research to improve our fundamental understanding of insects in forest ecosystems as well as field-oriented research to address evolving pest problems. Expertise of the incumbent and needs of the stakeholders will influence research direction. Applications are solicited from individuals with a wide range of expertise (e.g., chemical ecology, invasive species, insect pathology, global climate change, population dynamics, or ecosystem and landscape ecology). The position requires cooperation and collaboration with research and extension personnel in LSU's School of Renewable Natural Resources, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, other state and federal agencies, and with stakeholders in the forest industry. The successful applicant will be expected to obtain competitive, extramural funding, participate in graduate student training as a member of the Graduate Faculty of Louisiana State University, and serve as a liaison to the forestry industry.

Coordinator IUFRO Working Party Behavioral and Chemical Ecology of Forest Insects
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Insect Behavior
I am writing you on behalf of IUFRO WP 7.03.16 to let you know about a new initiative to highlight graduate student research on the behavioural and chemical ecology of forest insects. Beginning in January 2022 we will host a series of three webinars that will provide a platform for graduate students to present their work and develop their networks.
Talks will be pre-recorded and submitted in advance of each symposia for judging. The top three from each region will be presented for a total of six student presentations per symposia. The best talk from each region (i.e., two will be selected from each symposia) will be recognized and our goal is to offer financial assistance to each winner to attend the IUFRO All-Division 7 meeting in 2022 in Portugal where the winners will present their talks in a symposium highlighting student research in the working party (the symposia has been approved by the organizing committee of the All-Division 7 meeting and we have some funding already secured).
The first webinar will occur 24-January at 12:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in Europe (n=3) and Africa (n=3).
The second webinar will occur 21-February at 18:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in North America (n=3) and Central/South America (n=3).
The third webinar will occur 28-March at 04:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in Asia (n=3) and Oceania (n=3).
We ask your assistance in bringing this webinar series to the attention of anyone interested in attending and watching, and in particular helping make graduate students aware of this opportunity. Anyone interested in participating needs to visit the registration page
(see https://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/event/IUFRO_WP_7.03.16_Mentoring_Pro…<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fabin…>). Although only the top three talks from each region will be played in the webinars, all submitted talks will be uploaded to the WP 7.03.16 YouTube page where they can be viewed. Registration is now open and in a few weeks we will be contacting students interested in participating to explain deadlines and the submission process.
Thank you for your assistance. Best wishes,
Jeremy, Sigrid, Andres and Quentin
