Department of Crop and Soil Science, Soil Chemistry/Microbiology Position, Candidate Seminar Schedule

During the last weeks of May and the first weeks of June the Department of Crop and Soil Science will be interviewing candidates for the Soil Chemistry/Microbiology faculty position in their department. Please join the department for the candidates' seminars! The first seminar will be focused on the candidate's research and will be presented in a larger lecture hall, the second lecture is a teaching presentation and will be given in a smaller meeting room. For more information, contact Dave Myrold.
