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”). |
