Schubert joined the research faculty at the Lubbock Center in June, 1993 as associate professor, having transferred from the Texas A&M University Research Station at Yoakum, where he was superintendent and associate professor. He came to Yoakum in 1976 as assistant professor. While at Yoakum, he conducted peanut and forage research, becoming unit head in 1984. Duties and responsibilities at Lubbock include project leadership in all phases of the interaction of the peanut to the natural and cultural environment in the region. Areas of study have included physiological aspects of interaction of species and genotypes to elevation, soil and air temperatures, duration of growing season, rainfall, irrigation, day-length, solar radiation, mineral nutrition, chemical and physical soil characteristics, and cultural practices. With the addition of new scientists with peanut responsibilities, Schubert has decreased his activities in mineral nutrition and irrigation to a collaborative role. He is coordinator of the Peanut Precision Agriculture group and the Western Peanut Growers Research Farm. He has collaborated with engineers and scientists from the University of Georgia to incorporate global positioning satellite-referenced peanut yield mapping into peanut field research in West Texas. He collaborates with peanut breeders on adaptation and performance of germplasm and advanced lines to the West Texas environment and on genetic alteration of peanut fatty acid profiles. Schubert is a member of the Texas A&M University graduate faculty and is an adjunct and graduate faculty member at Texas Tech University.
