[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

Assistant Professor of Watershed Science/Soil Physics in the Soil and Water
Sciences Department University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences (IFAS) Gainesville, Florida.

Review Date: For full consideration, candidates should apply [1] and submit
additional materials by December 10, 2017.

This is a 12-month tenure-accruing position that will be 60% teaching
(College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, CALS), 40% research (Florida
Agricultural Experiment Station) and 0% extension (Florida Cooperative
Extension Service), available in the Soil and Water Sciences Department
(SWSD), Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, at the University of
Florida. This assignment may change in accordance with the needs of the
unit.

The incumbent is expected to teach four courses annually, in support of the
teaching curriculum in the Department. Available courses include (1)
Sustainable Agricultural and Urban Land management; (2) Urban Soil and Water
Systems; (3) Land and Life – A general education course; and (4) The
Science of Water- A new course to be developed at 3000 level. The successful
candidate will engage in scholarly activities related to instruction,
including teaching undergraduate and/or graduate courses, advising and
mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, participating in curriculum
revision and enhancement, and seeking funding for the teaching program. In

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