This may be a bit off topic though it definitely needs to get to folks
interested in breeding bees resistant to mites/disease - if you know a
qualified party that this would possibly interest please forward it to
them.  Thanks.
 
 
Michigan State University is currently seeking someone to replace Dr. Roger
Hoopingarner upon his retirement early this Summer.
 
if interested contact

or
 
J. Ian Gray (517) 355-0123

PhD required
 
currently MSU is offering something in the $24-27,000 US  range for this
non-tenured position
 
a great deal of pressure is being exerted on MSU by beekeepers, growers of
bee pollinated crops and concerned state officials to  get the pay up where
MSU can attract and hold a good person interested in working on various
projects including bee pollination and the breeding of bees resistant to
mites and disease in direct cooperation with the beekeepers of MI
 
Thanks,
