Assistant Cooperative Extension Specialist in Rangeland Management
The Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis, seeks to fill an 11-month, career-track position at the Assistant Specialist in Cooperative Extension rank.
RESPONSIBILITIES: This academic position has 100% Cooperative Extension (CE) responsibilities and will be located in the Department of Plant Sciences in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CA&ES) at UC Davis. The candidate will conduct applied research that is closely linked to an extension and outreach program designed to address and solve critical issues and problems associated with rangelands, particularly to optimize management strategies for the dual uses of ranch enterprise economic viability and enhancement of ecosystem services. The successful candidate will exhibit statewide visibility and leadership in research and extension, and interact collaboratively with others within the department and college, as well as those outside the department with expertise in rangeland ecology, water resources, invasive weeds, economics, soils, animal management, animal health, and climate change. Given the importance of the California livestock industry, the diversity of subject matter, and the impacts of rangeland management on millions of acres of land and millions of acre-feet of water, the person in this position needs to be highly interdisciplinary and collaborative. This position fits within the academic plan of the Department of Plant Sciences, CA&ES and UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR), which aims to improve sustainable plant- and animal-based agro-ecosystems for the future.
QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in rangeland management, ecology, or science, applied plant or soil sciences or ecology, weed science, or a closely related field with a demonstrated emphasis on rangeland management. Ability to conduct independent research and outreach in rangeland management must be demonstrated. Of particular interest is a candidate with demonstrated capacity and interest in interdisciplinary rangeland research spanning plant, animal, soil, economic, and environmental sciences. The candidate must be able to meet the experience and academic requirements to become a Certified Range Manager (CA State Board of Forestry) within the first 4 to 6 years following appointment. Applicants must have demonstrated leadership ability and communication skills.
