Assistant Professor Quantitative Genetics in Manhattan, Kansas
The Agronomy Department at Kansas State University is seeking an Assistant Professor, 12-month, tenure-track faculty position with 80% research and 20% teaching appointment, to develop a strong, innovative research and teaching program in theoretical Quantitative Genetics with focus on developing novel statistical and quantitative modeling approaches to genomic and phenomic data collected in crop genetics and breeding programs. This position will apply these models for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying variation in major agronomic traits, including but not limited to crop adaptation and productivity, and apply these models for predictive breeding to accelerate development of improved crop varieties. This position will be expected to collaborate with crop breeding, genomics, and phenomics teams to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to leverage large-scale datasets for mechanistic understanding and trait prediction under changing environments. This position is expected to develop collaborative ties to programs across departmental and college boundaries. The incumbent will develop new courses for graduate students in application of advanced modeling approaches, including machine learning and AI, to crop improvement. The incumbent will develop graduate level courses to support the teaching mission of the Department of Agronomy, Interdepartmental Genetics Program, and College of Agriculture in the area of quantitative genetics. The developed courses will provide training opportunities for graduate students in one or more of the following areas: 1) crop quantitative genetics, 2) application of AI-based methods to crop genetics and breeding, 3) modeling crop genotypes, development, and physiology in relationship to the target selection environment.

Postdoc Associate for Automated Tracking and AI Deep Learning Analytics in Olathe, Kansas
K-State Olathe is hiring a Fellow Post Doc to help design and engineer a novel deep learning technology that will use visual, audio, and other sensory data to track the behaviors of pigs in a pen continuously and in test arenas that are used to measure cognition and dominance. In light of this technology, the Fellow Post Doc will be requested to perform a comparative analysis from at an adaptive resolution rate based on multiple cameras installed in the pens and arenas designed by Dr. Hulbert for the Sorghum Project. Sorghum fermented products and genome data will be used to mitigate stress, inflammatory, and behavioral responses in adult pigs using computer vision system that must have restricted feed intake to maintain a healthy body weight or reduce weight after becoming overweight. This position is full-time, exempt (salaried), term position.
