Community Outreach Representative

Columbus, United States Ohio State University Full time

Job Title:
Community Outreach Representative
Department:
FAES | School of Environment and Natural Resources
The Ohio State University seeks a Community Outreach Representative to coordinate farmer-led research and engagement to improve the agronomic and economic performance and boost the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in Ohio. The position is based on the OSU CFAES Wooster Campus. This 100% FTE position is 100% grant funded for 5-years.

The position is part of a recently funded USDA Sustainable Agricultural Systems (SAS) grant awarded to Ohio State University in partnership with Central State University, the University of Missouri, and Lincoln University. The overall project seeks to implement collaborative research and engagement activities with farmers, farm advisors, agency staff, and agribusiness firms to improve the agronomic and economic performance of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) designed to increase carbon sequestration, improve water quality, and address other environmental goals. These include the use of multi-species cover crops, extended and diversified crop rotations, utilization of manure to reduce fertilizer inputs, and better integration of livestock and crop production systems.

The premise of the project is that poor and variable on-farm performance of CSAPs is a major reason for the relatively low adoption rates of many CSAPS (despite extensive government and private sector funding to encourage their use). The project will establish a network of farmer-led on-farm research clusters to explore innovative approaches and document their impacts on agronomic, economic, and environmental outcomes under working farm conditions. We will also be engaging with other key actors (farm consultants/advisors, landlords, state and federal agency staff, nonprofit organizations) who provide input into farmer decisions about the use of CSAPs.

This position will help build and maintain an Ohio on-farm research and coordinate the fieldwork portion of this project. Will be responsible to help recruit and support farmers who will be conducting research on their farms, coordinate with our interdisciplinary science team to schedule and carry out field sampling activities, maintain open and transparent lines of communications among farmers and university staff, supervise fieldwork team, and help organize and implement annual gatherings of farmers to review fieldwork results and plan for upcoming field seasons. Will share information about and represent the project and its findings through extension outreach events and media. The ideal candidate will have familiarity with various types of Ohio agriculture and a range of CSAP management approaches that are being recommended for farmer adoption, and comfort and experience engaging with farmers from diverse backgrounds and farm types.

The project is directed by Dr. Douglas Jackson-Smith, a rural sociologist and Kellogg Chair and Director of the Agroecosystem Management Program in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at the Ohio State University. The office will be located on the OSU-CFAES, Wooster campus – an interdisciplinary research station 90 minutes north of Columbus in the heart of a vibrant rural and agricultural landscape.

Minimum Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience
2+ years' experience in agricultural outreach and extension
Familiarity with Ohio agriculture and conservation practices
Comfort working with diverse farming and food systems audiences
Strong communication and organization skills
Self-directed, can work alone or in team environment
Ability to travel frequently in Ohio
Minimum Desired Qualifications:

Masters degree in agricultural or environmental science, social science, or related field
