WSU is inviting growers and others to participate in the selection of its Food Safety Specialist.

Here is the announcement:

During the week of June 20th, the School of Food Science is conducting on-site interviews to fill the WSU Food Safety Specialist position with Extension and Research components (formerly
held by Dr. Karen Killinger). The cv’s of the three candidates are attached. Dr. Ines Hanrahan is serving on the search committee on behalf of the tree fruit industry.WSU-Unit_Social-Badge
