BEEF PRODUCTION SPECIALIST

Clemson, SC

One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by  U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by  Kiplinger  magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney  in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.

The Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department is seeking an Assistant Professor (Beef Specialist) for a full-time, twelve-month tenure-track faculty position (70% Research/30% Extension) in Beef Production. The successful candidate will contribute to our research and Extension programs. We are looking for a dynamic individual to fill this position, which offers the opportunity to collaborate and engage in pathbreaking research and Extension with Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AVS) faculty. The candidate will have expertise in one or more of the following: forage utilization, ruminant nutrition, animal behavior, immunology, general and reproductive physiology and genetics. In addition, the position offers a public-facing role as a Beef Specialist for South Carolina and a unique opportunity to collaborate with the Forage Specialist (stationed at the Edisto Research and Education Center) to develop evidence-based programming for South Carolina beef producers. The successful candidate will also recruit and train graduate students through the AVS M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Opportunities will also exist to collaborate with faculty at Clemson University’s new Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine. Cow-calf production is one of the top two livestock enterprises in South Carolina. There are approximately 4,600 farms in the state engaged in beef production. Clemson University offers a diverse range of programming tailored to the needs and challenges of this important industry. South Carolina’s climate enables nearly year-round forage for grazing, supporting beef cattle production in the state. There is a growing need for expertise in beef nutrition and supporting systems, grounded in ecologically restorative and precision-based approaches to beef production. Clemson University, a Carnegie R1 institution, offers the only University-level program in South Carolina focused on animal agriculture and allied industries through teaching, research, and Extension/outreach. AVS awards B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Animal and Veterinary Sciences, conducts research to improve animal productivity, health, and product quality/safety, and draws students and scientists from across the world to learn and conduct research in basic and applied technologies for animal health and productivity. AVS emphasizes collaboration with other disciplines and stakeholders to improve animal production and health.
