About this position

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will join Washington State University’s Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC) in Prosser, Washington, to carry out independent research in viticulture. The project focuses on the usefulness of proximal sensors for predicting grape leaf tissue nutrient and water status, with the goal of developing practical industry guidelines for vineyard use.

The successful candidate will contribute to a research program centered on field and greenhouse experimentation, including experimental design and the correlation of soil and grape leaf nutrient and water measurements with sensor responses. The work is highly applied and aims to improve how sensor technologies can be used to assess vine status in vineyard settings.

The position also involves collaboration with USDA-ARS researchers and use of USDA-ARS facilities and instruments. The appointee will be expected to work independently, travel as needed, and conduct research under field conditions as part of a broader irrigated agriculture research environment.

WSU Prosser IAREC serves as a focal point for research, extension, and plant certification programs related to irrigated agriculture, offering a setting that connects university research with USDA-ARS and Washington State Department of Agriculture activities.

Funding details

Annual salary of $62,232; full-time temporary appointment for 12 months with renewal dependent on performance and funding availability.

What's required

Ph.D. in Plant Physiology, Plant Biology, Botany, Horticulture, or a related field. Ability to work under field conditions is required. The successful candidate must have, or be able to obtain by the time of hire, a valid driver’s license and meet departmental driving standards. The candidate must meet all requirements necessary to obtain and maintain access to USDA-ARS vehicles, facilities, and equipment. Preferred qualifications include expertise in plant physiology, ecophysiology, plant water relations, plant nutrition, viticulture, remote sensing, or field-based research with grapevines or other perennial fruit species, plus excellent verbal and written communication, data handling and statistical analysis, interpersonal skills, and the ability to work well in a multicultural team setting.
