Hi y’all!
Yesterday I officially signed up for my new job at North Carolina State University. It is a postdoctoral position involving the development of biofuel crops. Here’s a brief summary of what I’ll be doing (according to the job description):
- Lead the research effort on Canola, Hulless Barley, Switchgrass and Coastal Bermudagrass.
- Conduct field studies related to the yield and agronomy of Canola and Swithcgrass.
- Interpret results of USDA Hulless Barley trials.
- Establish demonstration projects on private farms.
- Help develop production guides for the energy crops.
- Help run the Canola Field Day and extension training on energy crops.
- Coordinate sampling and analysis of crops to determine energy potential.
It should be enjoyable and intellectually stimulating work, also I get paid a lot to do it.
I'll keep you updated as things develop.

P.S. Now we need to Kim to go through with his intention of working in the nuclear industry. Then won't our family gatherings invovle fun arguments!

Congrats Nic!
So are you in the building that had the mexicans fixing it up, while people walked underneath the crane?
Cheers, Tim.
Nope. Not sure where i will be exactly, I may be in the agronomy building, which is next to the one that smells like chickens.
So youre the reason all the Mexicans are starving
Cheers
