About this position
The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park is seeking a postdoctoral associate to conduct research at the intersection of environmental economics, ecology, and decision science.
The researcher will contribute to projects focused on invasive species management, biosecurity, and environmental decision support. Work will include refining and parameterizing a decision-support tool for rapid-response decisions following new invasive species incursions, as well as developing bioeconomic models of economic and behavioral tools for invasion management across complex management mosaics.
The role offers opportunities to apply optimization, simulation, and spatial analysis to environmental management problems; organize and integrate ecological, economic, and geospatial datasets; and develop applied research products. The postdoctoral associate will prepare peer-reviewed manuscripts, outreach materials, fact sheets, and decision-support resources for applied and Extension-oriented activities.
The successful researcher will also mentor graduate and undergraduate students and participate in stakeholder-engaged research, including possible focus groups, surveys, and other forms of applied engagement. The department provides an internationally recognized research environment in agricultural, resource, and environmental economics, with office, data laboratory, library, computer, and operating support. Research takes place in a collaborative setting with connections to the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station and University of Maryland Extension, just outside Washington, D.C.
Funding details
One-year postdoctoral position with potential extension contingent on funding availability. Salary range is $65,000-$70,000. Regular faculty benefits are available; employment is contingent on background-check and employment-eligibility requirements.
