About this position

This research fellowship is with the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Beneficial Insects Introduction Research Unit, based on the University of Delaware campus in Newark, Delaware, where a certified quarantine facility supports work on invasive agricultural and forest insect pests. The project focuses on biological control of the emerald ash borer and related Agrilus beetles.

Working under the guidance of mentor Jian Duan, the fellow will help determine host associations of introduced biological control agents with emerald ash borer and other related pests, and will also contribute to assessing how these agents affect pest population densities at long-term study sites. The research combines laboratory quarantine work with field studies in agricultural fields and forests across the United States.

The appointment offers hands-on experience in rearing and maintaining emerald ash borer colonies and their larval and egg parasitoids, conducting laboratory and field experiments, and managing experimental data generated from biological control studies. The setting is designed for applied entomological research at the interface of invasive species management and forest/agricultural protection.

Funding details

Stipend of $39,000–$45,000 yearly; appointment initially for nine months and may be renewed subject to recommendation and availability of funds.
