Please find attached flyers for a PhD scholarship AND a
Post Doctoral Fellowship to work on various aspects of pest management in pine
plantations in
The project has three main components: (i) field
survey and insect rearing work to investigate the severity of ips bark beetle
damage and the extent to which it is adversely affecting the current program of
nematode-based biological control of sirex wood wasp (ii) laboratory studies of
the interactions between ips bark beetle, sirex wood wasp and the fungi and
nematodes associated with each (iii) laboratory and field experiments on
possible pest management strategies to reduce the impact of ips bark beetle. The split of components between the PhD and postdoctoral
fellow will be negotiated according to the background of the preferred
applicants.
Both positions are open to overseas applicants.
If you are interested I can forward you the grant
application that was submitted to win the funds for the project, or feel free
