Operating Title Postdoctoral Research Associate Long Classification Title POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH/TEACHING Campus Location Durham Department UNH COLSA Natural Resources & the Environment Summary of Position
We are seeking a post-doctoral research associate in temperate agroforestry interested in conducting applied interdisciplinary research to evaluate the productive potential, climate resilience, and ecosystem services provided by different agroforestry systems in New England. Ecosystem services of particular interest include carbon sequestration and storage, hydrologic regulation, weed suppression, pest-pathogen regulation, crop yield, and biodiversity. Results of the research will inform the design of agroforestry systems adapted to New England's unique biophysical and socio-economic landscape.
The postdoctoral associate will participate as part of a large interdisciplinary team of scientists and graduate students and will have substantial flexibility to develop their specific research focus within the context of the project team's expertise and the needs of the larger project. However, there is an expectation that the successful candidate will conduct interdisciplinary research that bridges several relevant fields (e.g., ecology, soil science, hydrology, social sciences, economics) to address complex research questions related to designing sustainable and climate-smart temperate agroforestry systems. This postdoc position will support a 5-year USDA-funded project focusing on promoting climate-smart and sustainable agriculture for expanding food production in New England through regionally adapted agroforestry systems (Project "ADAPT").
Additional Job Information Posting Number PF0853FY24 Acceptable Minimum Qualifications
  • PhD in agroforestry, ecology, agronomy, biology, environmental science, or a closely related field at the time of starting the position.
  • Strong track record of relevant publications in peer reviewed journals.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Strong analytical skills, including knowledge of statistical packages and analyses.
  • Ability to interact and communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, organizational affiliations, and levels of expertise and knowledge.
  • Ability to work well independently with minimal supervision, including strong problem solving and creating thinking skills.
  • Ability to work well as a member of a large, transdisciplinary team.
  • Strong technical skills for maintaining and troubleshooting field and lab equipment.

Additional Preferred Qualifications
  • Specialization in agroforestry is strongly preferred.
  • Experience working as a member of a large, transdisciplinary team.
  • Experience mentoring undergraduate and/or graduate students.
  • Experience supervising and training research assistants and technicians.

Salary Information
Salary is complemented by a comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental, retirement, tuition, and paid time off.
