Job Description:

Work Location: SPESS, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Position Description: This is a non-tenure track position (100 % research) that will function as part of the Small Grains research group. The primary responsibility of this position is leading and managing the LSU AgCenter oat breeding program with a focus on improved forage and dual-used varieties adapted to the Southeast United States.

  • Assisting with planting, field management, and harvest of all LSU Small Grains trials and nurseries, including management of undergraduate and graduate student workers when necessary.
  • Assisting with coordination of the state small grains variety trials, including note-taking on the state oat test, and analyses and initial report preparation of the oat and wheat tests.

Qualification Requirements: Required qualifications include a Ph.D. in crop science, agronomy, plant breeding, or similar. Candidates must have experience with managing and running field equipment, and some degree of research experience in breeding and genetics. Experience specifically with genetics and breeding of oats and/or other small grains is highly desired.

Salary and Benefits: Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The LSU AgCenter has an attractive benefits package with a wide variety of benefit options. Benefits offered include retirement, multiple medical insurance options, supplemental insurances (dental, life, long-term disability, accident, vision, long-term care, etc.), Tax Saver Flexible Benefits Plan (saves tax dollars on some child care and medical expenses), university holidays (14 per year, typically includes a week off at Christmas), generous annual (vacation) and sick leave benefits, Employee Assistance Program, and possible educational leave and tuition exemption for coursework at campuses of the LSU System.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
