The University of Idaho currently has three open faculty positions in
entomology, plant pathology and/or nematology.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help distribute the
announcements.

   1. The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences is seeking a tenure
   track assistant professor to serve as an extension specialist in the
   department of Entomology, Plant Pathology & Nematology. The Specialist will
   provide leadership and have overall responsibility for a statewide
   multifaceted Extension Pesticide Safety and Pest Management program
   consistent with performance expectations of area educators and in alignment
   with UI Extension and UI Strategic Plans. The Specialist will provide
   leadership and have overall responsibility for the statewide multifaceted
   IR-4 Specialty Crop program for Idaho. The Specialist will work
   collaboratively with the statewide Integrated Pest Management program and
   will facilitate the transfer of technology, research, and knowledge from
   the university to residents throughout the state of Idaho. Professional
   service is expected, including but not limited to professional
   associations, reviews of Extension publications, journal manuscripts, grant
   proposals, and external promotion packets. This position will be 25%
   Scholarship & Creative Activity, 70% Outreach and Extension, and 5%
   University Service and Leadership.

   2. The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences is seeking to hire a
   Tenured Associate or Full Professor to serve as the Saad Hafez Presidential
   Endowed Chair for the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology and
   Nematology. The purpose of a Presidential Endowed Chair is to recruit and
   retain faculty with outstanding scholarly records who will provide
   scholarship and leadership that enhances their department, their college
   and the university (65%). This is a distinguished faculty position that
   represents accomplishment, prestige, leadership and good citizenship on
   campus and in the profession. The faculty selected must continue to perform
   as exemplary academicians and excellent colleagues. The position will
   participate in college and university service and leadership (5%). In
   addition, the Presidential Endowed Chair will provide important outreach
   (30%) to regional and national stakeholders, including but not limited to
   agribusiness, commodity groups, producers and policy makers on issues
   related to nematology in Idaho. Endowment distributions may be used at the
   discretion of the dean in accordance with current College of Agricultural
   and Life Sciences policies and procedures for endowed chair positions.
   Endowed funds will be used to support the presidential endowed chair
   position and research may include, but is not limited to supporting
   faculty, students, staff, travel, equipment, and salary enhancements. The
   chairship will be reviewed for renewal by the dean every five years. Rank
   and tenure are negotiable based on how the candidate meets the criteria
   outlined in department and college bylaws.

   3. This tenure track assistant or tenure track or tenured associate
   professor will focus on Forest Health in support of undergraduate and
   graduate programs in the Department of Forest, Rangeland and Fire Sciences,
   and College of Natural Resources. Rank and tenure are negotiable based on
   how the candidate meets the criteria outlined in the college bylaws. The
   faculty member will teach two undergraduate courses and lead a graduate
   course in their field of expertise (total of approximately nine credit
   hours per academic year). Course content will support both program and
   university student learning outcomes. Specific courses will be focused on
   forest health and determined in consultation with the department head. The
   faculty member will actively and effectively advise undergraduate students
   and will actively recruit and effectively mentor graduate students and
   post-doctoral researchers. The faculty member will conduct research related
   to forest health, and will develop a strong, internationally recognized,
   externally funded research program focused on biotic threats to forest
   health. This includes, but is not limited to, impacts of environmental
   factors on host-pest/pathogen relationships, threats posed by natural and
   introduced agents to forests and species of conservation concern, and
   innovative approaches to monitoring and managing forest health. The faculty
   member will publish in peer-reviewed journals, present findings to
   scientists and managers at professional conferences, and actively seek
   external competitive funding to support this research. The faculty member
   will work collaboratively within the department, college and university, as
   well as with external stakeholders (e.g., government and nongovernmental
   organizations, other universities, and industries). In these and other
   ways, the faculty member will develop and maintain a nationally and
   internationally recognized research and outreach program. The faculty
   member will also be effective in both outreach and engagement, particularly
   in linking research activities with outreach activities that help
   contribute to the land grant mission of the university. Thus, the faculty
   member participates in site visits, presentations to public and
   professional audiences, short courses and workshops, web-based
   communication, grant and manuscript reviews, and written impact statements
   that translate research findings to a large and diverse audience.
