The University of Delaware is in the process of hiring an Extension Agronomist and an Extension Entomologist. We have selected three candidates for each position and they will be interviewing on Campus (at Townsend Hall) and at the Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown over the next four weeks.
We are inviting stakeholders to meet the candidates, participate in their seminars, ask questions, and provide us feedback. These are vital positions for Delaware agriculture and we are hoping you can join us in this selection process. The times and locations for the presentations are listed below. These interviews are open to everyone.
At the same time, we realize it is an extremely busy time of the year, and so if you are unable to join us in person, we will be taping the seminars and you will have a chance to provide feedback. The videos will be available for about one week starting on May 12 for the Agronomy position and May 24 for the Entomology position.
