Now hiring -- summer research assistants needed!

Summer 2010 research assistant, Justin, near our organic aphid management trial. You, too, could spend your summer in the beautiful tobacco, blackberry, blueberry, and strawberry fields of North Carolina.

The Burrack Lab is seeking up to 2 motivated, reliable summer field assistants. These positions are a great opportunity for someone interested in applied entomology, agriculture, pest management, or field ecology. The right applicant will be enthusiastic, able to follow directions, and a team player.

Individuals will assist with field work and data collection at various locations throughout NC. Applicants should be available Mon-Fri and have the ability to travel daily. Field work will take place in an agricultural setting where pesticides are used. Individuals must be comfortable around pesticide application and willing to wear proper personal protective equipment as deemed necessary by their supervisor. Data collection will involve following specific instruction and keeping accurate notes. Applicant must be physically fit and able to work outdoors in summer heat.

Experience or coursework in entomology a plus.
