    I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am in the process of writing my dissertation and anticipate graduating by May of 2010. My research focuses on the ecology, taxonomy, and conservation of grassland leafhoppers and related groups. I have used these groups of insects to successfully measure the quality of native grasslands and I am in the process of writing manuscripts for publication. After reading this job advertisement I have become interested in pursing a career in military entomology. Could you send me some more information on the types of military entomology jobs that are available and the qualifications for those jobs? You can reach me at [email protected]

    Sincerely,

    Adam Wallner
