job_posting – University of Wisconsin-Madison

We seek to hire a 9-month tenure track Extension Specialist in Corn Production Systems (Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences, College of Agricultural & Life Sciences (CALS), University of Wisconsin-Madison) to provide leadership in developing and delivering corn grain and silage outreach and research in Wisconsin. This position will address the needs of the state’s corn-growing farmers that produce nearly 4.0 million acres of corn yearly with a value of more than $3.4 billion dollars. Wisconsin is an agriculturally and ecologically diverse state thus an integrative approach to Extension and research is needed in the development, evaluation, and implications of novel corn management systems (e.g., cropping systems diversification and intensification, ecological approaches to mitigate carbon and nutrient loss, precision agriculture, forage production, etc.).
