This is a 12-month, tenure track position (60% research, 40% teaching) in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department (ABE), Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), University of Florida (Gainesville, FL).
The person in this position will conduct engineering research (data analysis, dynamic systems modeling, and theoretical development) on complex biological systems and their interactions with natural and human systems across spatiotemporal scales. Applications include human interactions with ecohydrological and agroecological systems across all scales, from cells to regional and global scales, using new and emerging complex systems science theories. A goal of this position is to enhance and expand transdisciplinary research in ABE and IFAS. The successful candidate is expected to focus on understanding the complex patterns and processes of biological systems with the aim to develop engineering solutions to current environmental and management problems.
