Job Description

Virginia Tech's Hampton Roads Agricultural Research and Extension Center is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral associate to join a multistate, transdisciplinary team investigating the boxwood blight pathogen biology and epidemiology, and developing sustainable management solutions for this emerging disease. Boxwood is the No. 1 evergreen shrub crop in the U.S., and an iconic plant in American landscapes, including many historic gardens. Boxwood blight is affecting everyone on the horticultural chain from grower to consumer, while posing an increasing risk to the American boxwood heritage.

Self-motivated scientists with a doctoral degree received within the past 4 years are encouraged to apply.

The primary responsibilities of this position are to improve the survival, colonization and performance of selected biological control agents through lab (60%), greenhouse (20%) and field studies (20%). The selectee is expected to present research results at project meetings and professional conferences, and publish them in refereed journals in a timely manner.
