Postdoctoral Scholar in Biological Control Strategies

The Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology at Penn State is looking for a Postdoctoral Scholar to lead research on biological control strategies for managing the North American beech leaf nematode. The role involves coordinating studies using naturally occurring bacteria to suppress nematode populations and testing bacterial pathogens for nematocidal activity. A PhD in nematology, plant pathology, or related fields is preferred, along with significant experience in microbiology and plant-parasitic nematodes.
