Position description
Position Overview
The University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Agronomy and Nutrient Management Advisor in the Assistant Rank, serving Kings, Tulare and Fresno Counties. The Agronomy and Nutrient Management Advisor will focus on California's Southern San Joaquin Valley field crops, including livestock feed and non-vegetable field crops with emphasis on nutrient management linked to animal agriculture and fertilizer use. The program developed within this position will have an advisory and academic emphasis on animal agriculture waste, fertilizer, irrigation management and water quality issues. The extension and research program will also focus on crop production practices including cultural practices, variety selection, pest management, economics, plant nutrition, and nutrient management with a primary focus on nitrogen.
UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and the extension of knowledge. Research activities are needs-based, mission-oriented, and focused on clientele needs and addressing our regional communities' challenges. Extension activities are educational practices advisors use to share research results directly with their clientele and communities. Increased knowledge and understanding of science-based research helps to support and promote the adoption of practices and technologies that solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations and site visits, in-person presentations and webinars, organization of educational workshops, field days, conferences and short courses. Information may also be disseminated in written form, via fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs and social media. Publications are expected in various formats, such as newsletters, articles for the popular press, curricula, as well as to the academic community via conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge and understanding and increases the adoption of new skills, practices, changed attitudes, policies, and improved environmental, health, agricultural, economic, and/or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: extending knowledge, applied research and creative activity, professional competence and activity, and University and public service.
Location Headquarters: This position will be headquartered in the UCCE Office in Kings County, located at 680 N. Campus, Hanford, CA 93230
