Soil physics is a core research area in the Department of Soil Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and this position is integral to undergraduate and graduate programs in soil and environmental sciences. The candidate will contribute to the strategic reconfiguration of the department into a global center of excellence at the forefront of environmental and agricultural soil research. The candidate will explore topics in soil physics research such as: formation of soil structure in relation to clay, biota, and organic matter; modeling transport of water, energy, solutes, and particulates; soil sensor development; and soil management and resilience. The candidate should be able to work cross-disciplinary, improving linkages across the food-water-energy nexus. The teaching component of the position would entail at minimum an undergraduate/graduate level course and a graduate level course. <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">This position carries a commitment to the functions of research and teaching with contributions toward outreach, as well as professional and university service as appropriate to faculty rank. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">A PhD in Soil Science or related field is required. A strong foundation in soil physics and relevant research experience are required. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">Principal duties: 1. Develop a strong program in soil physics research. The successful candidate will be expected to compete for national grants, such as those in NSF, NIH, and USDA, as well as collaborate with soil and environmental scientists throughout the University. The candidate is expected to become a leader in soil physics nationally and internationally. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">2. The teaching component of the position entails an undergraduate/graduate level course (Principles of Soil and Water Management) and a graduate level course (Soil Physics). These courses are core in the soil science undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Additional teaching can occur in existing courses (e.g. Earth's Water, a high enrollment undergrad class) or through the development of new courses. In addition, the successful candidate will advise undergraduate and graduate students. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">Application materials will include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, 2 page teaching statement, 2 page research statement, and a list of 3 references. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">Materials must be submitted by September 1, 2017 at <a href="http://jobs.hr.wisc.edu/ew/en-us/job/495501/assistant-professor">http://jobs.hr.wisc.edu/ew/en-us/job/495501/assistant-professor</a> </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;box-sizing:content-box;line-height:1.3">UW-Madison is an AA/EEO employer.
