DEPARTMENT:

60740000 - AG-EREC-BELLE GLADE

CLASSIFICATION TITLE:

Ast/Aso Prof

CLASSIFICATION MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

Candidates for this rank shall hold the highest degree appropriate to their field. A candidate shall be expected to demonstrate successful experience pertinent to the position they are being recommended and have demonstrated qualities relevant to the goals of the academic unit in which they will be employed.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences is creating an environment that affirms community across all dimensions. If an accommodation due to a disability is needed to apply for this position, please call 352-392-2477 or the Florida Relay System at 800-955-8771 (TDD) or visit Accessibility at UF .

This is a 12-month tenure-accruing position that will be 70 % research (Florida Agricultural Experiment Station) and 30 % extension (Florida Cooperative Extension Service), available in the Everglades Research and Education Center Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, at the University of Florida. This assignment may change in accordance with the needs of the unit. Duties will include improving lettuce cultivars of cos (romaine) and crisphead (iceberg) types for Florida production. Focus on improving other types of lettuce such as leaf, butterhead, niche, and other leafy vegetables. Provide lettuce breeding lines and cultivars adapted to different environmental conditions throughout the state, with an emphasis on the Florida Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) where 90% of lettuce is cultivated. Other leafy vegetables, such as spinach, chard, and kale are cultivated in the EAA for baby leaf production, and support for the baby leaf industry on field production issues such as diseases affecting this industry is expected. This program evaluates the genetics of traits to develop lettuce cultivars adapted to Florida using multi-disciplinary research approaches in disease resistance, heat tolerance, nutrient use efficiency, weed management, postharvest technology, and alternative lettuce production systems such as protected structures.

Interaction with stakeholders, breeders in other states and federal agencies, and vegetable grower organizations (including Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association), is important to this position. Tenure will accrue in the Department of Horticultural Sciences. The faculty member is expected to release new horticulturally acceptable varieties, publish research results in refereed journals, produce extension publications and instructional materials, and to seek contract and grant funding actively to support his/her program.
