Dr. Soledad Benitez Ponce and her team are looking for a motivated undergraduate student to support their research program (part-time). Dr. Benitez Ponce and her team study plant-associated bacteria and communities of other microorganisms within agricultural systems. The team works on two production systems of relevance to Ohio agriculture, corn and soybean, and hydroponic leafy green production. The student will support activities by other members in the laboratory, including, but not limited to, setting up greenhouse and field experiments, sampling plants, soil, and other relevant material from the field or the greenhouse, and maintenance and management of plant and microbial material. Please direct any questions to Dr. Benitez Ponce at: benitezponce.1@osu.edu
