integrated pest management PostDoc positions and fellowships

The Postdoctoral Associate in Seed Biology and Technology at Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will conduct research on seed-applied, non-neonicotinoid protection strategies targeting early-season crop pests such as Delia spp. in New York cropping systems. The role involves designing and executing laboratory, greenhouse, controlled-environment, and field experiments to evaluate seed coating integrity, delivery of plant defense signaling compounds, and interactions with seed pathogens and early-season pest pressure under cold soil conditions. The associate will contribute to developing seed treatment compatibility guidelines and biologically based pest management approaches aligned with New York State IPM priorities and the phase-out of neonicotinoid seed treatments.
