The University of Florida Soil and Water Sciences Department (SWSD) seeks
applicants for a 12-month [60% Extension and 40% Research], tenure-track

stakeholders and addressing specific urban soil and water related issues.
Some examples of extension and research topics would be, but are not

long-term landscape soil health, contaminant leaching and runoff ;
landscape water use; developing strategies to improve water quality

techniques into new and existing urban environments and more broadly;
assess potential implications of climate change and sea-level rise on urban
soil and water quality.  The faculty member will contribute in a team
approach with other members of a four-member cohort as well as external
stakeholders to develop a comprehensive understanding and strategies to
protect soil and water quality in urban watersheds.
