About this position

This postdoctoral research associate position is based in the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The appointment sits within Texas A&M AgriLife, a large agriculture and life sciences research system with extensive statewide reach and strong links between research, extension, and service.

The successful researcher will work in insect ecology and pest management and will co-lead two applied projects: developing an early warning system for fall armyworm infestations in forage crops and turfgrasses, and improving management of Hessian fly in wheat. The role combines experimental and applied research across laboratory, greenhouse, and field settings.

Responsibilities include conducting experiments, analyzing data, and preparing reports and research manuscripts. The postdoc will also help develop and submit research proposals to funding agencies, with the opportunity to contribute to additional research projects and student mentoring. The position is therefore well suited to a researcher looking to build an applied entomology profile in crop protection and pest forecasting.

The broader environment at Texas A&M AgriLife emphasizes agriculture-focused research with interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement across the Texas A&M University System.

Funding details

Funded through grants or contracts; continued employment depends on ongoing funding and satisfactory performance. Salary is commensurate with qualifications.

What's required

Ph.D. in Entomology or a related discipline is required. Preferred experience includes insect ecology, monitoring, pest management, and field research.
