请介绍一下自己以及工作背景。

My name is Jacob Wickham. I have a PhD in Etymology and Chemical Ecology from the State University of New York at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry. I’m an adjunct professor at Rutgers University, meaning I’m an unpaid professor but in a position to accept Masters and PhD students, the first of which I started advising recently. 

我毕业于纽约州立大学环境与森林学院，拥有语源学和化学生态学的博士学位。我在罗格斯大学担任教授助理，意思就是我是一个不带薪的教授，正在等待获得自己的博士学位。

My home base in China is the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I’ve been here for seven years; I originally came here as soon as I finished my PhD after receiving a post-doc with the National Science Foundation to do research on the longhorn beetle.

我读完博士后，成为了中国科学院总理国际联谊活动的教授助理，这个一个邀请科学家来中国的项目。

I’m also the Managing Editor of the Integrative Zoology Journal at the Institute of Zoology. I’m also part of the International Society of Zoological Sciences, a non-profit organization of zoologists that unites together the zoological societies of many countries.
