    • Aerial scouting methods, image processing and interpretation
    • Data science and management - programming and dealing with large agronomic data sets, which are often variable and spatial in nature
    • Precision agriculture - incorporating spatial and climate variability into planning and real-time decision making for sustainable production

    The successful candidate will be expected to develop an extension and research program in an area of agronomy or crop science which incorporates modern and novel technologies. This faculty member will help extend UW’s focus on data science and computing to relevant stakeholders and may interact closely with faculty in the School of Computing, WyGISC (Wyoming Geographical Information Sciences), and others, in addition to collaborations with Plant Sciences faculty and collaborators at community colleges.
