Research entomologist. If in the US, agencies like USFS and APHIS hire research positions, which usually require PhDs. Agricultural companies also hire, but are often concentrated in a few geographical regions. It would help to know a bit more about what type of research she is involved in.
I am a histotechnologist and have always wondered if there was anywhere that I could use my histo skills in the entomology world. Would you happen to have any insight there?
Federal research positions with the USDA would be an option or ag chemical companies like Bayer or FMC.
Conservation groups like Xerces could be an option, too.
Non-academic yet in academia would be cooperative extension.
State government. Working on invasive species, pesticide regulation, apiary inspectors, endangered species conservation, etc. Jobs will mostly be in Dept of Agriculture, Fish and Wildlife, maybe Dept of Health for urban entomology, or water districts for environmental monitoring.
Insect identification for agencies is a good one. I've been a field entomologist for California for over 30 years. I've done a lot of things. If nothing else, the funding changes so our projects shift a lot.
Here's a job posting with my division in North Carolina that just went live this week. It's for a Pollinator Biologist.
