The selected candidate will be expected to develop a strong extramurally funded program (from private and federal sources) and mentor graduate and undergraduate students. The candidate will also be expected to develop new courses, including the topic of advanced cutting-edge techniques, that fit in the UG and GR curricula and support the land grant mission of Texas A&M University.
