Assistant Professor of Watershed Science/Soil Physics in the Soil and Water<br>
Sciences Department University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural<br>
Sciences (IFAS) Gainesville, Florida.<br>
<br>
Review Date: For full consideration, candidates should apply [1] and submit<br>
additional materials by December 10, 2017.<br>
<br>
This is a 12-month tenure-accruing position that will be 60% teaching<br>
(College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, CALS), 40% research (Florida<br>
Agricultural Experiment Station) and 0% extension (Florida Cooperative<br>
Extension Service), available in the Soil and Water Sciences Department<br>
(SWSD), Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, at the University of<br>
Florida. This assignment may change in accordance with the needs of the unit.<br>
<br>
The incumbent is expected to teach four courses annually, in support of the<br>
teaching curriculum in the Department. Available courses include (1)<br>
Sustainable Agricultural and Urban Land management; (2) Urban Soil and Water<br>
Systems; (3) Land and Life – A general education course; and (4) The<br>
Science of Water- A new course to be developed at 3000 level. The successful<br>
candidate will engage in scholarly activities related to instruction,<br>
including teaching undergraduate and/or graduate courses, advising and<br>
mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, participating in curriculum<br>
revision and enhancement, and seeking funding for the teaching program. In<br>
addition, the incumbent is expected to contribute to the scholarship of<br>

<br>
The research component of this position will focus on watershed-scale<br>
management of soil and water resources in the critical zone. This program<br>
area integrates theoretical and applied approaches to explore the complex<br>
physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with coupled<br>
hydrologic and biogeochemical cycles, and interactions between the soil zone,<br>
the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Specific applications<br>
and methodological approaches of interest include 1) interfaces between<br>
natural and managed (e.g., agricultural and urban) landscapes, 2) emphasis on<br>
vadose zone hydrology and/or solute transport at a range of spatial and<br>
temporal scales, 3) integration of landscape-scale remote sensing data with<br>
quantitative modeling. Research applications may be in a range of ecosystems<br>
as related to plant productivity,<br>
