The University of Maryland Department of Entomology is seeking some motivated and skilled undergraduates with an interest in Biological Control, pollinator conservation and Field Agro-ecology to join the ecological pest management and applied ecology group for summer paid internship positions. Research prospects will include using cover crops and flowering plants to manipulate beneficial arthropods and suppress insect and weed pests in vegetable and agronomic plantings. Work will consist also of research plot maintenance, arthropod and plant surveys and produce harvesting. Strong commitment to field work and a desire to be outdoors and remove weeds from research plots are essential as the job entails outside manual activities during the summer months. The ideal candidate will have some interest in field research, the great outdoors and have a valid driver license. If you are interested in this opportunity and obtaining additional information, please send an email that is addressed to all of the following Cerruti Hooks, Demian Nunez, Veronica Yurchak and Matt Dimock at crrhooks@umd.edu, dnunez1@umd.edu, vjohnso4@umd.edu and mdimock@umd.edu.
