Professor / Rhizosphere Science, </span></font></b><span>Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, NC State University, Raleigh, NC.
Twelve month, tenure track position with an appointment of 60% Research/40%
Teaching. Salary commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will organize
and conduct grant-funded basic and applied research on rhizosphere science,
root zone processes, and plant-soil interactions, in field, greenhouse, and
laboratory settings. We are specifically interested in candidates who focus on
the chemical interactions between plants and the soil system around roots.
Specific topics of interest may include modeling, metabolomics, and stable
isotope-based approaches to attack fundamental problems associated with crop
productivity, nutrient dynamics, environmental remediation, abiotic stress,
microbial ecology, and carbon storage in soils. The faculty member will develop
a new graduate level course on rhizosphere processes, and may also contribute
to undergraduate classes in soil fertility. Minimum education/experience: Ph.D.
in Soil Science, Crop Science, Biogeochemistry, Horticulture, or a related
field is required, with extensive training in plant-soil interactions, and advanced
biological and chemical techniques. Specific expertise in root or whole plant
systems is required, and training in metabolomics and isotopic techniques as
applied to root exudates is desirable. The successful candidate is expected to:
develop a productive research program that is sustained by extramural grant
funding and is responsive to solving problems of state, national, or
international importance; publish scholarly work in internationally recognized
peer-reviewed journals; teach courses consistent with departmental needs; collaborate
with other departmental faculty engaged in laboratory, greenhouse, and field
research; and participate in interdisciplinary research with faculty from other
departments at NC State University, as well as personnel from cooperating
universities, institutions, agencies, and organizations. <span><b><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-weight:normal">Contact Dr. Owen Duckworth (</span></font></b></span></span><a href="mailto:owen_duckworth@ncsu.edu" target="_blank"><span>owen_duckworth@ncsu.edu</span></a><span><b><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-weight:normal">), search chair, with questions.
