Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate courses nutrition and food science.
Applicants should submit online at http://ffh.recruitments.ucdavis.edu a letter of application, curriculum vitae (including list of publications), description of research and teaching plans, and names and contact information of at least three references.
