The incumbent will be expected to remain current with innovations relevant to the beef cattle industry, including interpretation of original research involving reproduction, breeding/genetics, nutrition, management, economics, etc., and determine how such novel information applies to Utah beef cattle producers including cow-calf, purebred, and feedlot operations.

Research results should be published in refereed journals and Extension or popular press publications. The incumbent will be expected to successfully compete for external funding to support their research and Extension activities.
