Postdoctoral Research Scholar

The Department of Crop and Soil Sciences encompasses varied disciplines in research, extension, and teaching. The department’s mission is to develop future leaders in crop, soil, and environmental sciences, improve crop plants and products, devise effective and sustainable crop production systems, devise effective and sustainable soil management techniques in both agriculture and urban settings; and disseminate crop, soil, and environmental science knowledge for the benefit of users and producers of food, feed turf, biofuels and fiber in North Carolina, the nation and the world.

The successful candidate will conduct independent and collaborative research to develop and elucidate bio-physical-chemical mechanisms that regulate soil carbon sequestration, nitrogen retention, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation in agricultural systems. The primary focus will be on understanding how soil amendments derived from bioenergy production byproducts influence soil processes and ecosystem sustainability.

Key responsibilities include:
