Research Associate in Climate Resilience
1 week ago
Position Overview:
This role is integral to a newly funded Climate-Smart initiative aimed at enhancing agricultural sustainability.
The Research Associate will oversee and coordinate assessments to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions and soil nutrient dynamics within beef cattle operations implementing climate-smart methodologies.
The individual will gather, analyze, and compile reports on the data collected from each participating farm (40% effort). Additionally, the incumbent will obtain supplementary information regarding pasture and livestock management practices, including forage samples for nutritional analysis and livestock productivity (e.g., pounds of meat produced per acre). This data will be aggregated for each farm to derive sustainability metrics (such as methane or CO2 equivalent emissions per pound of meat) to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed climate-smart strategies on greenhouse gas emissions at the farm level (20% effort).
Furthermore, the selected candidate will collaborate with Extension Associates to determine which farms will participate as partners in the monitoring efforts and which climate-smart practices will be adopted at each location.
The Research Associate will also liaise with the Market Development team to provide necessary information to support their objectives (10% effort).
Additionally, the individual will assist field technicians with the operation, calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of greenhouse gas measurement chambers and soil sampling tools (20% effort).
This position demands a high level of labor-intensive monitoring, necessitating a qualified individual with a solid background in greenhouse gas and soil sampling methodologies specific to beef cattle systems, as well as a comprehensive understanding of effective forage and livestock management practices.
The successful candidate will maintain close communication with collaborators and contribute to the creation of educational materials, along with written and oral presentations regarding the findings to be shared with producer cohorts and at various events (10%).
Qualifications:Applicants should possess a PhD in Animal Sciences or a related discipline.
