They will also participate in ADAPT cohort activities, including interactions with postdocs, graduate students, undergraduates, PIs, farmers, and other project team members across all partner institutions.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals, excellent programming skills in Mathematica, R, and GIS, and the ability to interact and communicate effectively with people from a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines, organizational affiliations, and levels of expertise and knowledge.
