Community Information

Founded in 1893 as a Land Grant University, Montana State University (MSU ) comprises eight academic colleges and a graduate school and boasts a friendly, supportive faculty and campus environment. Currently, the University enrolls over 16,500 students, including over 2,000 graduate students. MSU is in Bozeman, Montana, a community of 53,000 situated in the Gallatin Valley, and part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

The Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology (PSPP) Department, housed in the College of Agriculture, cooperates with two other departments in offering the M.S. degree in Entomology, and an undergraduate Minor in Entomology. PSPP also offers a B.S. degree in four majors, an M.S. degree in Plant Pathology or Plant Sciences, and a Ph.D. degree in Plant Sciences with options in both Plant Pathology and Plant Genetics. The Department has faculty in three buildings on campus, including a state-of-the-art building that is connected to the Plant Growth Center greenhouse facility. Other facilities include the Montana Entomology Collection, the MONT herbarium, a 10-acre horticulture farm that includes a student-run market garden, a pollinator garden, a bee yard, and a 250-acre agronomic research farm. Seven off-campus research centers across the state offer further collaborative research opportunities. In addition to teaching in the Entomology and PSPP areas, faculty teach in the multi-college undergraduate biology series.

The Entomology Group is a multi-departmental group of faculty that teach and advise graduate students in the Entomology MS and Entomology Minor programs, as well as related Ph.D. programs. Specialized entomology facilities include an insect quarantine facility in the Plant Growth Center, a bee yard, the Pollinator Health Center, the Schutter Diagnostic Lab, and the Montana Entomology Collection. Entomology teaching collections for general entomology, insect identification, aquatic entomology, veterinary entomology and insect morphology are also available.

Overview

The PSPP Department conducts research and teaches in the broad areas of biology, including but not limited to agronomy, horticulture, plant biology, plant pathology, genetics, entomology, sustainable crop production, and landscape design. This faculty position will contribute to the entomology area, which supports teaching for broader biology and entomology curricula. As the only entomology program in Montana, faculty, staff, and students work in a broad number of fields to shape the food systems and landscapes in semi-arid climates, for addressing concerns of sustainability, climate change, and social equity.

We seek a highly qualified and enthusiastic entomologist to contribute to our programs. The appointment is 60% research, 30% teaching, and 10% service. The successful candidate will develop an innovative and collaborative teaching program relevant to the missions of the Department, College and University. Instructional responsibilities include four 3-credit courses in a two-year cycle. A University Core course such as BIOO-162CS Insects and Human Society will be taught yearly, plus two courses contributing to the M.S. Entomology program in alternate years. Additional graduate seminars, directed studies, and other high-quality, high-impact educational practices are encouraged. The successful candidate will also advise undergraduate and graduate students in academic and research/creative activities that relate to entomology and related programs.

This full time, 9-month academic year tenure-track position requires that the successful candidate develop a focused program of research/creative activity directed at solving issues in entomology relevant to Montana and the region and that address MSU’s Grand Challenges (https://www.montana.edu/strategicplan/improvinglives.html).
