    "description": "<h2>Overview</h2>\n<p>The Utah State University Chemistry and Biochemistry Department and the Pollinating Insects Research Unit (PIRU) of the USDA Agricultural Research Service are searching for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in toxicology and entomology.  This is a full-time, temporary appointment of 2 years, based at Utah State University. The postdoc will be working directly with Drs. Kimberly Hageman (USU) and Kelsey Graham (USDA ARS) in Logan, UT, in addition to collaborators at Washington State University (Dr. Douglas Walsh) in Prosser, WA.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Review of application materials will begin on July 1, 2026 and continue until the position is filled. The target start date is in September 2026.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. U.S. work authorization is required for the duration of employment.</p>\n<h2>Responsibilities</h2>\n<p>The aim of this project is to develop standardized methods for conducting quantitative pesticide risk assessments that include the diverse exposure pathways encountered by solitary bees. This includes conducting experiments to determine lethal and sub-lethal toxicity endpoints for two solitary bee species – the alfalfa leafcutting bee (Megachile rotundata) and the alkali bee (Nomia melanderi). Additionally, the postdoc will lead semi-field studies to evaluate higher-tier risk assessments for pesticide exposures for these bees and determine how different routes of pesticide exposure impact bee health. The research is expected to provide critical information on how toxicity and exposures differ between solitary bees and the western honey bee (Apis mellifera), which is the model system for this type of work in the US. The candidate should have experiences related to toxicology and working with insects.</p>\n<h2>Qualifications</h2>\n<p><strong>Minimum Qualifications</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry, Entomology, Biological Sciences, or related disciplines appropriate to this position. </li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Required Documents</h2>\n<p>Along with the online application, please attach:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Resume to be uploaded at the beginning of your application in the Candidate Profile under “Resume/CV”</li>\n <li>Transcripts for all relevant undergraduate and graduate degrees to be uploaded at the beginning of your application in the Candidate Profile under \"Documents 1-10\"</li>\n <li>Names and contact information for 3 Professional References to be typed at the beginning at your application  </li>\n <li>Cover letter to be typed/pasted at the end of your application</li>\n</ul>\n<p>**Document size may not exceed 10 MB.**</p>\n<h2>Advertised Salary</h2>Commensurate with qualifications and experience, plus excellent benefits\n<h2>ADA</h2>\n<p>Employees work indoors and are protected from weather and/or contaminants, but not, necessarily, occasional temperature changes.
