This role is supported by a multi-year collaborative project involving the almond industry and government researchers in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia and two commercialisation projects for insect lures across different horticultural crops.

The successful applicant will work effectively as a member of the Invertebrate & Weed Sciences Team, a multidisciplinary team of scientists within AST.
