Industry Chair in Integrated Forage Management and Utilization - Saskatoon, Canada - University of Saskatchewan
Description
Industry Chair in Integrated Forage Management and Utilization
Western Canada is home to over 96% of Canada's tame and native pasture. At nearly 45 million acres, these forage resources underpin the economic sustainability of over 43,000 beef cattle operations generating 88% of Canada's cow-calf production and 79% of Canada's feedlot production. In addition to providing an affordable high-quality grazing and feed resource for the beef and dairy sectors, forage systems are increasingly recognized as providing critically valuable agro-ecosystem benefits. In order for the full benefits of forages to be realized, it is critical to bridge interdisciplinary boundaries and study the interactions among animals, plants, soils, economics and ecosystems.
Applications are invited from qualified individuals for a full-time (12-month) continuing status position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, jointly held in the Departments of Animal and Poultry Science and Plant Sciences (primary academic home to be determined following the interview). This industry chair is jointly funded by the Beef Cattle Research Council, the Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, and the Global Institute for Food Security. As an industry-funded Chair, the position is approximately 50% research, 20% teaching, 20% extension and 10% administration.
The successful candidate will join a strong, well-established multidisciplinary team with expertise in forage breeding, rangeland ecology, environmental sustainability, feed processing and all aspects of beef production, including genetics, nutrition, management, welfare, toxicology, metabolism, and physiology. The successful candidate will bridge these disciplinary boundaries and lead systems-based forage and pasture management and utilization research that considers interactions among animals, plants, soils, economics, and ecosystem services. Specifically, the candidate will focus on the development and evaluation of 1) agronomic strategies that optimize forage establishment, yield, quality and stand longevity, and 2) feeding and grazing strategies that optimize animal performance while contributing to improved soil health and environmental sustainability. They will establish a rigorous, externally-funded research program that involves applied research of direct interest to industry and specifically to producers, as well as basic research that is eligible for Government of Canada Tri-Council funding. They will also be expected to bring together relevant expertise (from both within and outside the College of Agriculture and Bioresources) to realize the agronomic, economic, and environmental value and benefits of forages. They will provide knowledge and technology transfer to cattle producers across western Canada, industry professionals, provincial extension staff and other stakeholders as well as to the academic community at national and international conferences/symposia. They will also be a liaison with external stakeholders and obtain guidance on industry research needs. In addition, the successful candidate will participate in and lead courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, supervise student research projects (undergraduate, , and participate in the administrative activities of the Department, College and University.
