contents In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which an odd nilpotent element in $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ lies inside an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-subalgebra. In the case of the classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_m$, every nilpotent element can be embedded into an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-subalgebra, which is the result of the Jacobson-Morozov Theorem. In the case of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$, we define super Jordan matrices and prove that an odd nilpotent element $e$ is contained in an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-subalgebra if and only if $e$ lies in the orbit of a super Jordan matrix consisting only of super Jordan blocks of odd size.
