The University of California, Riverside is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar to develop improved tools for the detection of biotic stress diseases and weeds in annual crops in the Southwestern U.
The overall goal of this project is to develop advanced tools for early stress abiotic and biotic detection and decision support for crop management. The Scholar will work with agricultural scientists, extension personnel, and growers and other industry clientele to collect imagery via unmanned aerial systems UAS and satellites, and georeferenced data on pest outbreaks via field surveys. The Scholar will use these data in collaboration with computer scientists to develop machine learning algorithms for the detection and management of biotic stress.
The crops and pest systems to be included in this project are flexible but are expected to be relevant to agriculture in Arizona and California.
The successful candidate will be initially appointed for one year, with funding available for reappointment of up to two additional years based on satisfactory performance.
The position will be based on the University of California, Riverside main campus, and will include travel to field locations in Southern California. Information on salary ranges, benefits, and other aspects can be found here. Please submit a cover letter, current curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Dr. Milt McGiffen milt. Alexander Putman alexander.

Students are encouraged to take independent steps to find alternative sources of funding. Domestic students can find information about alternative funding sources through the UC Riverside Graduate Division. Our departmental goals are to conduct research on the basic biology of plant pathogens and microbes, to develop methods for the management of microbial diseases of plants and other organisms, to provide a quality education to our students; and be a repository of expert advice on plant diseases and microbiology to the citizens of California and the world.
Our department has its roots in the Citrus Experiment Station, which was established in Riverside in Although the department has maintained strength in the study of diseases of citrus, the scope has expanded to include concentrations in numerous other plant diseases as well as many sub-disciplines of microbiology.
Represented among our faculty are experts in the fields of genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, ecology, evolutionary biology, and traditional aspects of disease control.
Many faculty members have close interactions with industry representatives, advisors, and policy makers throughout California and worldwide.
This is critical to applied research for identifying emerging and common plant diseases and microbes, and developing innovative management programs based on ecological and epidemiological approaches. On the following pages , I invite you to explore the research programs of our world-class faculty, our critical work in cooperative extension, and the graduate and undergraduate programs that we sponsor.
