[Plsugs] SUMMER JOB - Dr. Bill McCloskey Extension Research

[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

Dr. Bill McCloskey is looking to hire a student worker for the summer of 2017.

Please see the details of the job description below. Wage will be set at $11 to $12 per hour depending on background and experience.



Are you interested in learning about production agriculture? Do you want to work with crops such as alfalfa, cotton, chile peppers, pecans and pistachios? Do you like working outdoors? Then I have the job for you!



I am a weed scientist and conduct a field research program that focuses on weed management in Arizona agriculture. I want to hire a student during the summer of 2017 to help conduct various weed management experiments at field sites in Maricopa, Pinal, Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties in Arizona. This is a full time job to the extent that the University allows (35 hours per week). Job duties will consist of tasks related to conducting herbicide efficacy, weed competition and other studies related to weed management in Arizona crops and landscapes.  The successful applicant will assist in  applying herbicide treatments, loading equipment on trailers and towing equipment to study sites, assessing herbicide effects by counting plants, estimating visual injury and using cameras and other instruments to collect data, calibrating and maintaining sprayers, maintaining field and greenhouse experiments (e.g., weeding, irrigating, and fertilizing experiments, etc.), and harvesting crops and weed biomass by hand and machine.



A valid Arizona driver's license is required. Because of summer heat and the danger it poses to field workers, we start work early in the morning with 6 to 6:30 a.m. being typical start times. All travel to study sites will be in University vehicles.
