Postdoctoral Researcher
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Branching Out Postdoctoral Researcher
We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher to conduct qualitative research and outreach on agroforestry practices in the Midwestern USA. Interest in agroforestry is accelerating, given its potential for combining ecological and economic benefits. Yet support for forestry and agriculture are still primarily in separate spheres and agroforestry faces barriers related to norms, information, incentives, markets, and policy. The person in this position will travel across the Midwest including Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio to conduct on-farm and professional interviews, develop case studies, and potentially assist with surveys.
Required:
-- PhD in social sciences related to agriculture, forestry, natural resources, conservation, policy, or planning.
-- Experience conducting and publishing qualitative social science research.
-- Passion for listening to, and writing about, farmer, landowner, land manager, family member, and professional advisor, government agency, nonprofit, and industry employee experiences.
-- Writing and team communication skills.
