A postdoctoral research opportunity is available with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Stored Product Insect and Engineering Research Unit in Manhattan, Kansas through ORISE (Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education).   Stored product insects are an evolutionarily diverse group of organisms that are attracted to similar food volatiles, yet very little is known about the identity or function of the chemosensory receptors that these insects use to detect the odors of potential food resources. Better knowledge of the underlying genetics and physiology of chemoreception in pest insect species could lead to novel control methods to reduce the approximately $2.5 billion dollars of post-harvest losses to U.S. agriculture that these ins
