The Grab Lab in the department of Entomology is looking for undergraduate research assistants to help us conduct studies on the ecology of insects in agricultural systems. Projects in the lab include examining the combined impact of pesticides and heat stress on buzz pollination, investigating ecologically based pest management strategies for vegetable crops and developing smart traps for monitoring and mapping sweet corn pests. Undergraduate research assistants will work directly with graduate students and senior researchers. Students who work successfully in the lab will have opportunities to design their own research projects.
