The University of Delaware is in the process of hiring an Extension Plant Pathologist. Four candidates for this position will be interviewing on Campus (at Townsend Hall) and at the Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown the week of May 21 to 25 and the week of May 28 to June 1.
We are inviting stakeholders to meet the candidates, participate in their seminars, ask questions, and provide us with feedback. This is a vital position for Delaware agriculture and we are hoping you can join us in this process. The times and locations for the presentations are listed below. These seminars 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. Recorded presentations will be made available at a future time and announced in the WCU.
