Assistant Project Scientist- Shackel Lab
Position Overview:
The salary range for this position is $74,100-$94,200. 'Off-scale salaries', i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions, qualifications, and experience.
This position will deploy, manage, and analyze a multi-site and year on-farm plant-based irrigation management project in Walnuts. Deployment will consist of in-field installation of plant-based sensors and water meters. Management will involve remote monitoring and troubleshooting, as needed, of these sensors and water meters. Management will also involve coordination among farm advisors, growers, and sub-contractors to make sure that manual as well as automated data streams coming from the study are accurate and archived in a timely manner. Ongoing data analysis as well as yearly summaries and preparation of reports will be required.

The appointee will participate in activities to increase, improve, or upgrade competency. Appointees with Project (e.g., Scientist) titles may engage in University and public service.
