- NOTICE OF VACANCY | Entomology Assistant Professor of Insect Physiology The Department of Entomology at Washington State University is seeking an Assistant Professor to develop an innovative, nationally and internationally recognized research, Extension, and teaching program in Insect Physiology. This 12-month, tenure-track position begins August 17, 2020, negotiable. The successful applicant is expected to develop a nationally and internationally recognized, externally funded physiology research and teaching program. This position will contribute to interdisciplinary activities at WSU by working with other colleagues to obtain external funding for physiological research that addresses basic science, crop production challenges, ecological/environmental issues and arthropod response to exposure to plant derived and synthetic xenobiotics. Expectations also include conducting research relevant to Washington’s diverse agricultural industries. The successful candidate will support and mentor entomology graduate students and post-doctoral scientists, and teach a graduate course in Insect Physiology and other courses as designated by the department/university. Collaboration is expected within and outside the department and institution, and applicants should demonstrate strong potential for collaboration with other existing programs (e.g., toxicology, metabolomics, integrated pest management, apiculture, insect-microbe and insect-plant interactions). Screening of application materials begins January 2, 2020, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications must include: letter of application addressing the required and preferred qualifications, areas of expertise, and research interests; a current curriculum vitae; statement of vision and goals for the position that describes how you would approach the position; electronic copies of graduate and undergraduate academic transcripts; and names and contact information for four professional references.
