Graduate Research Opportunities

Grad student (MS or PhD) positions available in agroecology, organic and regenerative agricultural systems
- Purdue University is leading a newly funded USDA OREI (Organic Research and Extension Initiative) project on integrated pest management (IPM) in organic and ecologically intensified grain cropping systems (see below for more detailed project description). As part of this work, we are recruiting a post-doctoral scholar and graduate students (MS or PhD). The post-doctoral scholar will help lead the overall project, including working with university partners at UW-Madison and Western Illinois University, while the graduate student will emphasize quantifying the effects of varying cropping regimes upon arthropod diversity and pest management.
