2 weeks ago


Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**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 **College of Agriculture and Bioresources** is an international leader in applied research and scholarship with expertise and integration across four primary themes: Plants and Animals; Food, Feed and Bioproducts; Environment and Ecology; and Business and Applied Economics. The college has a century-long reputation for teaching, research and outreach and has been a consistent strength for the university. The college has played a pivotal role in the development of the agriculture and food industries in Saskatchewan and continues to build on a legacy of public engagement and cooperative partnerships. Our faculty is committed to providing an exceptional learning experience and preparing graduates for leadership in the bio-economy.

The University of Saskatchewan’s main campus is situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. The University of Saskatchewan is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a city with a diverse and thriving economic base, a vibrant arts community and a full range of leisure opportunities. The University has a reputation for excellence in teaching, research and scholarly activities and offers a full range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs to a student population of over 25,000.

Assistant Professor: $99,945 to $120,099; Associate Professor: $120,099 to $140,253.
