Greetings- I wanted to share this position announcement for Department
Head/Crop Science at NCSU (Raleigh, NC) directly with the sustainable ag
community.
NCSU is growing as a land grant that supports Sustainable Agriculture. CFSA
collaborated with NCSU on our Kellogg project and we have many other joint
projects between us. The Center for Environmental Farming Systems is
receiving increased attention from the legislature, the Department of Ag and
the College of Ag and Life Sciences- the Head would have an important
opportunity to move the systems, and organic research forward at the
research station.
Please contact Laura or the chair of the search committee directly if you'd
like any more information.
cheers
Laura Lauffer
