		The Entomology Research and Extension Program at the Rutgers Marucci Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension Center in Chatsworth, NJ is headed by Cesar Rodriguez-Saona. The goal of Cesar's research program is the development and implementation of cost-effective reduced-risk insect pest management practices for blueberries and cranberries. This goal is achieved through the integration of chemical, behavioral, and biological methods in insect control and a better understanding on the ecology of insect herbivores and their natural enemies. His extension program delivers pest management information to growers by conducting on-farm demonstration trials, presentations, and extension publications. Cesar is in the Department of Extension Specialists. He is also a Graduate Faculty in the Departments of Entomology and Ecology & Evolution.

		Graduate Assistantship Available. I am currently seeking a highly qualified, motivated, and independent student to pursue an MS/PhD degree in the Department of Entomology at Rutgers University. Start Date: Fall 2010. The successful candidate will work on the Chemical Ecology of below and above ground tri-trophic interactions between plants, herbivores, and natural enemies. The project will be conducted under my supervision and the supervision of Dr. Albrecht Koppenhöfer. Email letter of interest, unofficial transcript, GRE scores, CV and three references to Cesar Rodriguez-Saona by December 31, 2009.
