About this position
Washington State University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Precision Ag Lab and AgWeatherNet in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering within the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. The position is based at the WSU IAREC Prosser campus and focuses on Smart Farm technologies for tree fruit and irrigated field crops.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on wireless sensor networks, data-driven decision support, and automated control systems for crop stress management. Research activities include designing and deploying low-power, long-range sensor networks in orchards, vineyards, and irrigated field crops; integrating soil, plant, and weather measurements; and linking ground-based sensing with UAV and satellite multispectral and thermal imagery. The role also involves developing AI/ML-driven and process-based models to predict stress onset and mitigation needs, as well as building cloud pipelines, APIs, dashboards, and mobile or web tools for real-time decision support and remote control of irrigation and crop-protection systems.
The position is collaborative and applied, with opportunities to work alongside research and extension faculty, students, growers, industry partners, and commodity groups. The successful candidate will contribute to scholarly publications, conference presentations, grant-related activities, extension and outreach materials, and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students. The role is embedded in a multidisciplinary research environment centered on irrigated agriculture and technology-enabled crop management.
This is a temporary, full-time appointment at WSU Prosser IAREC with salary and benefits provided by the university.
Funding details
Annual salary: $62,232–$70,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications; full-time temporary appointment with standard WSU employee benefits.
What's required
Ph.D. in Biological/Agricultural Engineering, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Horticulture Engineering, or a related field by the time of hire. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in sensor systems, wireless sensor networks/IoT or data acquisition for agricultural or environmental monitoring, and data analysis using Python, R or MATLAB, supported by peer-reviewed publications. Candidates must show ability to conduct field research in variable conditions, communicate effectively in writing and orally, and work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams. Proficiency in at least one programming language, preferably Python, is required, along with hands-on experience deploying, calibrating or troubleshooting sensors, data loggers or embedded systems in the field. The role also requires the ability to work outdoors in heat, cold and variable weather, lift up to 50 lb of equipment, travel regularly to field sites across Central Washington, obtain a valid driver’s license by time of hire, and work independently while managing multiple project components and deadlines. Preferred qualifications include LoRaWAN or other low-power wide-area networks, microcontrollers and embedded firmware, plant-water relations, evapotranspiration and irrigation scheduling, tree fruit or grape experience, UAV thermal/multispectral imaging, GIS, AI/ML frameworks, time-series modeling, cloud platforms, RESTful API development, web/mobile app development, irrigation automation, and publication, mentoring, or extension experience.
