<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;" class="">A one-year postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences at the University of Florida
(Gainesville, FL) to study the effects of nutrient and water management in organic mixed vegetable production systems. This postdoctoral research associate will be primarily advised by Dr. Maltais-Landry and co-advised by Dr. Eban Bean in the Agricultural
& Biological Engineering Department.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">This position is linked to a Southern SARE grant project that combines field research conducted at the UF Plant Science Research
and Education Unit (Citra, FL) with field trials conducted on growers’ fields located in Alachua County, Florida. This work will mainly focus on carbon and nutrient cycling (primarily nitrogen and phosphorus) in crops and soils, soil health, and water management.
The research associate will work in both field and lab conditions, and they will analyze and interpret data from different focus areas. As such, experience and expertise in nutrient cycling and/or water management are required. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">We expect the postdoctoral research associate to have the ability to work effectively in both field and lab settings and to play
an important leadership role in an inter-disciplinary project. The research associate will also lead data analysis and writing activities. This project involves an extension component, and the research associate is expected to help organize and participate
in these events. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
