Essential Job Duties

The Research Assistant plays a key role in advancing the Turfgrass Entomology Program’s laboratory, greenhouse, and field research. Working in collaboration with the Principal Investigator (PI), this position independently coordinates multiple concurrent research projects, exercises scientific judgment, and ensures research activities are implemented with quality, accuracy, and efficiency. The position supports externally funded research and Extension programming by coordinating field trials, evaluating research data, maintaining research operations, and contributing to the communication and dissemination of findings.

Key Responsibilities

Applied Research & Field Trial Coordination

Independently coordinate laboratory, greenhouse, and field research, including scheduling seasonal field operations, implementing experimental protocols, and monitoring trial quality and integrity.
Collect, validate, organize, and interpret research data; perform preliminary statistical analyses and recommend modifications to improve research quality and methodology.

Laboratory & Research Operations

Prepare research summaries, presentations, online educational materials, manuscripts, grant reports, and Extension publications in support of program activities.

Training & Program Support

Train undergraduate employees and supervise temporary workers in established research procedures and practices.

If you are a research professional with hands-on experience in turfgrass entomology, a strong understanding of insect pests affecting turfgrass ecosystems, and the ability to apply scientific judgment to laboratory, greenhouse, and field research, we invite you to apply. If you enjoy solving research problems, coordinating complex field activities, and contributing to research that supports both scientific discovery and Extension programming, this position offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
