The setting is the US southern High Plains, a region with declining groundwater levels and rising investment in starch- and cellulosic-based ethanol production. Crop growth models will be used to compare the productivity of switchgrass, sorghum, and mixed species biofuel cropping systems to that of corn under full irrigation, deficit irrigation, and dryland conditions. Applicants should have a B.S. in soil science, crop science, or a related field. Applicants should send a cover letter highlighting qualifications and research interests, a current CV including GRE scores (all applicants) and TOEFL scores (international applicants), and two letters of recommendation to Tyson Ochsner, tyson.ochsner@okstate.edu, 368 Agricultural Hall, Dep. of Plant and Soil Sciences, Stillwater, OK 74078.
