Ireland : PhD Studentship: Development of novel green insecticides for commercial forestry plantations
Applications are invited from outstanding, enthusiastic graduates with a background in Ecology, Entomology, Geochemistry, Forestry or a related discipline to undertake research towards a doctoral degree (PhD) at University College Dublin (National University of Ireland, Dublin) on a project titled:
Development of novel 'green' insecticides for commercial forestryplantations.
This project will develop a novel protection strategy against herbivorous insect pests for woody plants with particular reference to coniferous plantation species. The approach will exploit the anti-feedant properties of selected natural mineral elements. The bioavailability of these elements from different soils and amendments will be assessed using geochemical and isotopic methods. Then, the effects of enhanced mineral levels in tree seedlings on feeding damage by Pine weevils (Hylobius abietis) and seedling survival will be assessed under controlled conditions and in commercial field plantations in collaboration with the industry partner, Coillte. The project will involve analytical, experimental and field-based research work. The project will also provide training opportunities in innovation and technology transfer.
The student will be supervised jointly by Dr. Olaf Schmidt (School of Agriculture, Food Science and Veterinary Medicine) and Prof. Frank McDermott (School of Geological Sciences). The value of this bursary is Euro 16,000 (tax exempt) per year for up to 4 years, commencing in September 2010. The Registration Fee for European Union citizens will also be paid.
