Position Summary:
The Director of the Sustainable Livestock Systems Collaborative (SLSC) is a full-time, twelve-month tenured (or eligible for tenure) associate/full professor faculty position for a person with a proven track record of leadership of diverse teams, industry partnerships, academic collegiality, and research/teaching credibility. This leadership position will have dual reporting lines to the Dean of College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) and the Dean of College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS). The Director will be expected to contribute to research and/or teaching as well as substantial outreach/engagement. Final allocation of effort in these areas will be discussed and negotiated with the successful candidate at the time of hire. We seek an established leader with working knowledge of Sustainable Livestock Systems who is committed to collaboration, networking and team building. CSU’s Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Agriculture Science, Health and Human Sciences, Natural Resources, Engineering, and Natural Sciences, along with Schools of Global and Environmental Sustainability (SoGES) and Public Health, and state-wide CSU Extension provide a fertile basis for development of change-making programs in Sustainable Livestock Systems. A large number of state and federal governmental agencies, including CDC, USDA APHIS, USDA NWRC, NPS, USGS, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and others are located in the Northern Colorado area, providing an internationally unique opportunity to develop large collaborative programs of real global strength and significance. Key to this endeavor are partnerships with nongovernmental stakeholders, including industry/producer groups, as key constituents in this endeavor.
This newly created position will be responsible for developing the nascent Sustainable Livestock Systems Collaborative at CSU into an internationally recognized program. This will include developing strategic partnerships, alliances and collaborations both on and off-campus; developing internal and external advisory boards; coordinating activities across campus and community; taking responsibility for representing the University through networking and professional collaboration with external constituents, industry stakeholders, schools and organizations; and developing resources for programmatic growth and sustainability.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership skills and must be an effective communicator who is able to convey the vision for SLSC to multiple audiences. Candidates should demonstrate strategic thinking skills, organizational political savvy, and should be visionary and inspirational. Effective group communication skills, and capacity to assimilate organizational vision, mission, values and goals are highly desirable traits. We seek to identify a solution-oriented decision maker able to effectively lead others.

Breeding for Sustainable Cropping Systems
Assistant/Associate Professor, tenure-track
Academic year (9-month) appointment
School of Integrative Plant Science, Section of Plant Breeding and Genetics
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Cornell University
Ithaca, NY 14853
Start Date: July 2020 or as negotiated
Responsibilities: The successful candidate will lead a breeding and genetics program in sustainable cropping systems with a domestic or international focus and will be expected to develop an externally funded research program, release improved cultivars, and contribute to graduate and undergraduate training. A potential concentration on alfalfa and other high-quality forage crops critical for New York's prominent dairy industry would leverage the legacy of Cornell's world class forage breeding program and germplasm collections. Many of these crops have polyploid genetics, an area that merits further exploration in research and teaching. Teaching expectations include the responsibility to deliver an existing course, PLBRG 4030 Genetic Improvement of Crop Plants, and to create another course of the candidate's choosing, in consultation with the chair. This position has a 60:40 research and teaching responsibility.
Abundant opportunities exist to collaborate with Cornell's Initiative for Digital Agriculture ( https://www.digitalagriculture.cornell.edu/ ) and partner with colleagues having expertise in genomics, robotics, high throughput phenotyping, genomic selection strategies, metagenomics, animal nutrition, and microbiome research.

University of Oklahoma, Gallogly College of Engineering
Norman, OK, USA
The University of Oklahoma (OU) School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) and School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering (CBME) in the Gallogly College of Engineering (GCoE) are looking to fill a joint faculty position in the area of produced waters/water resources. The position aligns with the GCoE’s strategic priorities of doubling research productivity in the strategic growth areas of energy (including management of produced waters from petroleum production) and water (including treatment and reclamation of produced waters). This new specialty area will strengthen OU’s water portfolio in an area of critical need and local and national significance at the energy-water nexus. Specifically, produced waters from the oil extraction industry pose a problem that is disrupting production, given that the traditional method of disposal via deep well injection is inducing earthquakes. The large amount of freshwater currently required for oil production also greatly taxes limited water resources.
The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a sponsored research program related to produced waters. Potential research areas include:
Development of cost-effective water treatment and desalination technologies
Risk assessment and water quality targets to protect environmental and public health
Novel uses of treated waters
Highly qualified individuals with demonstrated expertise in other innovative areas related to produced waters/water resources, and/or other research challenges at the energy-water nexus, will receive full consideration. Applicants at all levels will be considered.
Since this position is being advertised jointly by CEES and CBME, it is anticipated that the successful candidate will teach one senior/graduate water quality course for CEES and one graduate course in his/her specialty area that would serve as an elective in both departments. The CEES course could be taught online as part of the MS program in Hydrology and Water Security. The subject matter for the on-campus graduate specialty course in CEES or CBME will depend on the candidate’s area of expertise, but it is expected that it will cover one or more topics related to production and management of produced waters and/or advanced treatment processes. For more information about CEES and CBME, please visit the CEES and CBME websites at http://www.ou.edu/coe/cees and http://www.ou.edu/coe/cbme .

Highly qualified individuals with demonstrated expertise in other innovative areas related to produced waters/water resources, and/or other research challenges at the energy-water nexus, will receive full consideration. Applicants at all levels will be considered.
Since this position is being advertised jointly by CEES and CBME, it is anticipated that the successful candidate will teach one senior/graduate water quality course for CEES and one graduate course in his/her specialty area that would serve as an elective in both departments. The CEES course could be taught online as part of the MS program in Hydrology and Water Security. The subject matter for the on-campus graduate specialty course in CEES or CBME will depend on the candidate’s area of expertise, but it is expected that it will cover one or more topics related to production and management of produced waters and/or advanced treatment processes. For more information about CEES and CBME, please visit the CEES and CBME websites at http://www.ou.edu/coe/cees and http://www.ou.edu/coe/cbme .
