http://www.wisc.edu/

Official Title: ASSISTANT PROFESSOR(C40NN)

Degree and area of specialization: A PhD in Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant Science, or related field is required for this position.

License/certification:

Minimum number of years and type of relevant work experience: PhD required, postdoctoral experience is preferred.

Principal duties: This is a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Horticulture.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally-recognized program of

extension/outreach, research, and teaching in the area of fruit crop production. This position will

focus on fruit production, including cranberries, grapes, tree fruit (e.g., apple/cherry),

strawberries, and other crops. The successful candidate will address issues that limit production,

enhance sustainability, and facilitate value-added opportunities for producers.Examples of

research areas could include sustainable fruit production, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis and

carbon partitioning, cold-hardiness, adaptation of fruit crops to northern climates, development

of value-added products from fruit crops, plan growth regulation, and abiotic stress physiology.

Wisconsin fruit crop farmers and industries are important contributors to the overall agricultural

economy of the state and critical aspects of Wisconsin's food system. In 2011, Wisconsin

growers produced over four million barrels of cranberries, which represented more than 57% of

the U.S. cranberry crop. Wisconsin has ranked number one in cranberry production for the past

18 years. Farm value of the 2011 Wisconsin cranberry crop was more than $195 million.

Wisconsin also ranks near the top nationally for tart cherries (fourth), strawberries (sixth) and

apples (twelfth). Taken together, these crops make up more than $228 million in farm value for

Wisconsin. Additionally, fruit crop growers contribute to the vitality of rural Wisconsin

economies by stimulating popular agro-tourism ventures (such as wineries, "you-pick"

businesses, and Door county tourism) and hiring a significant number of seasonal and full time

employees.

Wisconsin fruit crops are poised for rapid industry growth. The Wisconsin Grape Growers

Association was recently formed to organize and promote this industry. Multiple wineries have

initiated over the past five years increasing the diversity of Wisconsin's agriculture and adding a

potential tourist destination within the state. While increases in crop transportation costs have

negatively impacted many agricultural industries, the associated attention toward local

procurement has stimulated renewed interest in local Wisconsin fruit production, particularly for

strawberries, raspberries, apples, and tart cherries.

Collaboration with peers in soil science, food science, horticulture, entomology, plant pathology

and other disciplines would be expected. The incumbent will successfully compete for external

funding on a state, regional and national basis and will develop an innovative extension and

research program. Leadership in, and communication with, fruit crop producer groups is

expected. Additional responsibilities include mentoring undergraduate and graduate students,

instruction of the fruit crops course (alternate years), and participation in the rest of the

department's teaching mission, university and community service as appropriate.

This position carries a commitment to the three functions of resident instruction, research, and

outreach/service, as well as professional and university service as appropriate to the position and

rank.

Additional Information:

Candidates must have a strong disciplinary foundation in horticultural production; effective oral

and written communication skills; ability to design and conduct interdisciplinary research

leading to advances in fruit crop production; the ability to attract extramural funding and publish

in peer-reviewed journals; and the ability to work collaboratively with individuals and

organizations from a wide range of public and private perspectives. Preference will be given to

candidates that present evidence of excellent outreach and teaching skills, a record of publishing

in peer-reviewed journals, and success attracting extramural funding.
