Candidates should be able to demonstrate the ability and commitment to work cooperatively with colleagues across disciplines and develop a collaborative scholarly program at the intersections of engineering and agricultural sciences.  

Desired qualifications: The successful candidate should demonstrate:

  • Capability to develop a scholarly program at the interface of engineering and agricultural sciences.
  • Evidence of commitment and dedication to teaching and mentoring a diverse student population preparing for careers in academia, industry, or government.
  • A record of research funding or demonstrated potential to secure competitive funding from agencies such as the USDA NIFA, NSF, foundations, private industry, etc.
  • Evidence of peer-reviewed publications and the ability to establish stakeholder partnerships.
  • Interest in engaging external stakeholders in program development and implementation. 

The Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering (BAE): BAE is a national leader in education, research, and outreach in the discipline, with nationally ranked undergraduate and graduate programs in biosystems engineering. The department has been fully engaged in meeting the changing needs of society since 1906, with a current mission to improve the quality of life by integrating and applying principles of engineering and biology to systems involving food, environment, energy, and health.

Salary and Benefits: Salary will be commensurate with qualifications. MSU offers a generous benefits package (details at https://hr.msu.edu/benefits/index.html).
