Subject: Job posting at DVU for a Soil Scientist

After 36 years teaching at Delaware Valley College now Delaware Valley University, Larry Hepner has retired. Larry taught Soils; Soil Fertility; Watershed Management; Ag Waste Management and Sustainable Ag. The traditional agronomy Department at DVU was split between two other Departments two years ago. The Soils group merged with the Landscape Architecture Department. Larry’s position has been posted on the DVU web site. I have asked them to advertise the position in the SSSA publication CSA NEWS but that may not happen. Therefore, you may want to pass this email onto any of your current or former graduate students who may be interested in the position. Below is the job description and a link highlighted red to the web site.
Thank you.
