Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Plant Sciences, Small Fruit and Berries Geneticist/Breeder

Location: Davis, California, USA

The Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis, seeks to fill a 9-month tenure track position as an Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Small Fruits and Berries Geneticist/Breeder in the Agricultural Experiment Station.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

This position will be located in the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences. The successful candidate's research will focus on genetics, genomics, germplasm improvement and breeding of small fruits and berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.). This can include the use of genomic methods and strategies to link advances in genotyping, phenotyping and population and quantitative genetics theory to crop improvement. Expertise in ploidy manipulation and interspecific hybridization is desirable. The faculty member would be expected to lead a breeding program in small fruits and berries, which have an annual farm-gate value exceeding $2 billion in California. Research goals could include genome sequencing, genetic association and mapping studies, identification of important genes/traits, population genetics and marker-assisted selection strategies for maintaining genetic variation and its efficient utilization, and genetic/physiological mechanisms underlying these traits. The incumbent will lead an active varietal breeding program that includes a strong field component. The position will require participation in multi-disciplinary teams, consistent with the Plant Sciences department’s emphasis on discovery and application of fundamental science ranging from the molecular level to field applications. Interactions and collaborations with colleagues at UC Davis, Cooperative Extension, Plant Breeding Center, other academic or research institutions, and agricultural industry stakeholders are expected. The successful candidate will contribute to teaching of plant genetics and breeding courses in the undergraduate plant sciences curriculum. The candidate will also teach at the graduate level within her/his area of research expertise. Advising and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students is expected. The successful candidate will participate in departmental, college, and campus committees and programs and work with state, regional and national organizations as appropriate to address the mission of the department, college and Agricultural Experiment Station.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in an appropriate field and a strong and well-documented background in breeding, genetics, and genomics.

SALARY:

Commensurate with qualifications and experience.

TO APPLY:

Candidates should begin the application process by registering online at http://recruitments.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/.  
Please include statements of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, publication list, copies of three most important research publications, copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts (if within 5 years of either degree), and the names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of at least five professional references.

For technical or administrative questions regarding the application process, please email Ms. Cindy Salazar at cmsalazar@ucdavis.edu

To ensure consideration, applications should be received by August 1, 2014; the position will remain open until filled.
