Essential Job Duties

The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology seeks a highly motivated Research Associate to support multidisciplinary research programs focused on plant pathology, substrate microbiology, pathogen biology, molecular diagnostics, microbial ecology, and genomics in horticultural production systems. The successful candidate will contribute to integrated research projects investigating how wood- based substrates influence soilborne disease suppression, microbial community dynamics, and biological control efficacy in greenhouse and protected production systems. The candidate may also contribute to applied plant pathology research and collaborative activities with specialty crop breeding programs as project needs dictate.

This position provides an opportunity to work within collaborative research teams across horticulture, plant pathology, and molecular biology, while contributing to innovative approaches to sustainable disease management in specialty crop production systems.

Primary Responsibilities

Independently supports, develops, designs, or executes moderately complex research activities to evaluate how wood processing methods, substrate manufacturing approaches, and preconditioning treatments influence disease development and pathogen suppression.
Investigate interactions among substrate composition, physicochemical properties, soilborne pathogens, microbial communities, and biological control organisms to identify mechanisms influencing disease suppression, crop health, and biological control performance.
Conduct pathogen inoculations, disease assessments, microbial isolation, and experimental evaluations of disease progression under greenhouse conditions.
Characterize microbial community dynamics associated with substrate composition and disease suppressiveness using molecular and sequencing-based approaches.
Participate in the development and refinement of research methodologies, experimental protocols, and approaches to improve research quality and efficiency.
Conduct plant disease assessments; isolate and characterize plant pathogens; and support host resistance evaluations and collaborations involving specialty crop breeding programs.

Other Responsibilities

Analyze experimental data using appropriate statistical, bioinformatic, and computational approaches.
Maintain detailed experimental records, databases, and project documentation.
Contributes to publications, reports, and draft manuscripts; presents research findings at scientific conferences, stakeholder meetings, workshops, and professional events.
Collaborate effectively with faculty members, graduate students, technicians, extension personnel, and external collaborators.
Support ongoing grant activities and contribute to the development of future research proposals and funding initiatives.
Assist with mentoring undergraduate and graduate students involved in research activities.
May serve as co-investigator on a funded research project or may participate in writing grant proposals or the facilitation of the grant writing process.

Qualifications

Minimum Education and Experience

Master’s degree in Horticultural Science, Plant Pathology, Molecular Biology, Microbial Ecology, Plant-Microbe Interactions, Plant Breeding, or closely related discipline, or a Bachelor’s degree with a least 3 years of relevant professional experience.

General knowledge of soil and environmental science
Ability to clearly and concisely present scientific data both orally and in writing
Ability to design experiments, conduct independent research, and lead the preparation of manuscripts
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within collaborative teams
