USask is seeking a new director for the LFCE

The University of Saskatchewan is seeking a Director for the LFCE to provide administration of LFCE research, teaching and outreach programs and oversight of financial and physical resources and non-academic human resources.

As a key strategic leader, the Director will seek out opportunities, partnerships and funding sources that support the mission and vision of the LFCE. This will require effective facilitation and management of relationships with multiple stakeholders, including the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, producer groups, major funding agencies, public and private sector forage and research organizations, individual producers, regulatory agencies, and numerous university units and departments. The LFCE Director will work closely with college leadership, faculty users of the LFCE units, LFCE management team and staff to provide leadership in operational management, financial planning and management, strategic accountability, and communications of the LFCE. 

The LFCE Director will report to the Deans of WCVM and AgBio, and will play a central role in both strategic and operational oversight of the three units that constitute the LFCE. These units employ about 14 research support staff.
