Two Graduate Research Assistantships – Land use effects on insect population dynamics. The Kansas State University is seeking two highly motivated Master’s or PhD students to join the Kim Eco Lab in the Department of Entomology at the University. Members of the Kim Lab study the ecology of plant-insect interactions and how these interactions vary with insect management and land-use change. For more information about our current work.
Project 1: Land management and restoration effects on insect population dynamics .The grad student (MSc level) will on projects examining how land management and restoration affects insect population dynamics. The research will involve a combination of fieldwork at the Lonsinger Sustainability Research Farm, near Alton, KS and lab/greenhouse work. Students interested in the fields of insect population ecology, insect taxonomy, and food-web interactions are encouraged to apply.
Project 2: Spatial distribution of insect pests and beneficial insects in agroecosystems The graduate student (MSc or PhD level) will work on projects examining the spatial distribution of insect pests and beneficial insects in soybean in Kansas agroecosystems.
