Two graduate assistantships (M.S. or Ph.D.) are available in the Department of Entomology at Iowa State University (http://www.ent.iastate.edu/) to study ecological and evolutionary aspects of interactions between agricultural pests and crop plants with the goal of enhancing pest management and sustainability of agriculture. Students may pursue degrees in entomology, or in ecology and evolution through the Universitys interdepartmental program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (http://www.grad-college.iastate.edu/EEB/). Degrees also may be earned in both areas of study simultaneously. Interested individuals should send a cover letter describing research interests and career goals, the names and contact information of 3 references, and a curriculum vitae to Aaron Gassmann ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Although electronic applications are preferred, application materials may also be mailed to Department of Entomology, 110 Insectary, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011.
