JOB OPENING // Weed Scientist

Dec 17, 2013

From Stephen Powles (Australia)

Attached are details on a good opportunity for a scientist focused on crop-weed issues in the Northern cropping zone of Australia. This is a University of Queensland position, in an initiative known as QAAFI. The appointee will lead a small team based at the beautiful small city of Toowoomba, Queensland. I consider that this is a good opportunity for a mid-career scientist or an outstanding candidate with already some postdoctoral experience. The Northern cropping zone of Australia is dynamic and diverse and includes irrigated and rainfed summer crops such as cotton, sorghum, sunflower etc. as well as winter crops (wheat etc). There are emerging herbicide resistant weed issues that need research and many other crop weed issues. Funding opportunities are good and I know there are good people to work with.

Would you please forward this to any individuals you believe may be interested in this opportunity. Further information on the position can be obtained from
