as an effective scholar, citizen, and leader for the integrated (extension, research, and teaching) land-grant mission of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture and IANR, including supporting student recruitment and IANR science literacy. Research conducted
by the incumbent applies grassland science to characterize spatial and temporal dynamics of grazing lands for livestock production and other ecosystem services; collaborators include natural resource scientists, animal scientists, social ecologists, and economists.
In the integrated teaching and research program the incumbent addresses grassland conservation through resilience thinking, systems thinking, and trans-disciplinary research; beef production through the Nebraska Integrated Beef Systems Initiative (NIBSI);
and landscape resilience through the CGS and the Center for Resilient Agricultural Working Landscapes (CRAWL). The incumbent will work with grazing lands and their stakeholders (e.g., the National Drought Mitigation Center, Conservation and Survey Division,
Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and Platte Basin Timeline). Contributions to the teaching mission are expected to average 0.40 FTE, including team-teaching courses in grassland ecology and management, grassland conservation, and livestock management
on range and pasture that contribute to several degree programs in IANR. In addition, the position is expected to recruit, advise, and mentor undergraduate students in Grassland Systems, contribute to the Nebraska Range Short course and Nebraska Youth Range
Camp, mentor Plant Biology undergraduate students with an Ecology and Conservation option, and work with graduate students in interdisciplinary programs, Range and Forage Science, and related fields. Specific course offerings may change according to program
needs.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
