  • Exciting Opportunity: MSc Position Now Open for Applications

    Monday, October 28, 2024 | By

    Location: Biological Sciences, Brock University & Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI)
    Start Date: January 1, 2025

    Are you passionate about entomology, viticulture, and innovative pest management solutions? Join us in a cutting-edge research project aimed at addressing a critical challenge in Ontario’s vineyards!

    Project Overview:
    The Multi-coloured Asian lady beetle (MALB) poses a significant threat to wine and juice grapes in Ontario. As these beetles enter vineyards in the autumn, they can be harvested with the grapes, resulting in the release of methoxypyrazines that taint the juice during processing. This research aims to evaluate an alternative method for mitigating MALB using CleanWorks Inc.’s patented technology, which combines ultraviolet light-c, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide.

    Who We’re Looking For:
    We seek a dedicated MSc student with a strong interest in pest management and sustainable agricultural practices. Ideal candidates will have a background in biological sciences, entomology, or related fields.

    How to Apply:
    Interested candidates should contact Malkie Spodek at (mspodek@brocku.ca)for more information and application instructions.

    Take this opportunity to contribute to innovative solutions in vineyard management while advancing your academic career!
