POSITION SUMMARY :
The Agricultural Research and Development Program ( ARDP ) in the College of Science, Technology and Agriculture ( CESTA ), Central State University is seeking a 12 month, non-tenure-track, Research Associate Professor of Crop Science and Plant Physiology who has an established background in applying molecular techniques for plant phenotyping and breeding of field and cover crops. The incumbent is expected to have experience in applying molecular techniques for analyzing plant diseases and develop healthier germplasms under different environmental conditions. We are looking for candidates who have previous industrial experience in successful germplasm selection, deployment and breeding projects across countries and programs. The incumbent is expected to have experience in development of cultivars from initialization to commercialization. The candidate is expected is research into new varieties of field crops, cover crops and other emerging plants of interest. Incumbent in this position will work with farmers and agricultural industrial partners in the State of Ohio in developing and breeding based on molecular and phenotyping techniques. The candidate, in collaboration with other appropriate researchers at CESTA, is expected to explore extensions of research in the impacts of crops of interest to farmers and agricultural industry in Ohio, including natural products. The candidate is also expected to develop an independent extramurally funded research program that is relevant to farmers and other stakeholders in Ohio.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES :
• Establish and maintain a competitive research program in the fields of plant science and crop physiology that will focus on the development of disease free field and cover crops that directly impacts farmers and other appropriate stakeholders in Ohio and beyond.
• Build collaborations with famers and agricultural companies, obtain external research funding, publish results in peer reviewed journals, recognize intellectual property, and release cultivars through appropriate mechanisms instituted at CSU .
