Assistant Professor

The Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Department in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences at South Dakota State University is seeking a 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Forage, Biofuel and Cover Crop Breeding (80% research appointment in the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station; 20% teaching). Candidates are sought who bring a background in plant breeding, quantitative genetics, and field-scale breeding/analytics (i.e. precision agricultural techniques). The successful applicant will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program in forage, biofuel and cover crop breeding that improves sustainability and agroecosystem resiliency. This position is located in Brookings. This position is a 9 Month, full-time, benefits-eligible position.

SDState is the state’s largest, most comprehensive university with over $94 million annual research expenditures, more than 200 academic programs and an enrollment of approximately 12,000 students.

The Department of Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science includes over 40 faculty whose expertise spans the fields of Agronomy, Entomology, Genetics, Horticulture, Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology, Precision Agriculture, Seed Science, Soil Science, and Weed Science. The Department has a robust research program that consistently ranks at the top of departments at SDSU. Discovery and dissemination of science-based knowledge are core missions of the department. Our faculty Extension Specialists and Field Specialists provide an effective structure for meeting this mission. In academic programs, the department provides nationally competitive training for undergraduate students leading to B.S. degrees in Agronomy, Horticulture and Precision Agriculture. Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science also offers a strong graduate training environment leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Science and Biological Sciences.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

The incumbent will be a critical member of a collaborative plant breeding research team. The incumbent is expected to explore crop variety development with the goal to improve the resiliency and diversity of crop production in South Dakota. The incumbent will develop science-based, region specific, crop varieties for forage, cover crop and biofuel applications and is expected to work closely with crop improvement and foundation seed. Publication of scholarly work in peer-reviewed journals and graduate student mentoring is expected of the successful candidate. The incumbent will be positioned on the Brookings, SD, main campus.

SALARY RANGE:

The minimum salary for this position is $85,000 at Assistant Professor rank. Salary is commensurate with experience.

BENEFITS:

SDState offers a wide range of excellent benefits including medical, dental, and flexible benefits, retirement plans, compensation packages, paid holidays, and vacation leave. We offer a generous retirement plan that includes 6% matching, 10 hours of annual leave each month, 9.34 hours of sick leave each month, and eleven paid holidays. Employees also have access to internal and state-sponsored training as well as reduced tuition for state-supported courses at all State of South Dakota academic institutions. Relocation benefits are available per university’s guidelines.
