About this position

The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park is seeking a postdoctoral associate to support research at the intersection of 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 in complex management mosaics.

The project portfolio also involves applying optimization, simulation, and spatial analysis to environmental management problems; organizing and integrating ecological, economic, and geospatial datasets; and producing peer-reviewed manuscripts and related research products. The postdoctoral associate will additionally prepare outreach materials, fact sheets, and decision-support products for applied and Extension-oriented activities.

The role offers opportunities to mentor graduate and undergraduate students and participate in stakeholder-engaged research, including focus groups, surveys, and other forms of applied engagement. The researcher will work independently and within an interactive, collaborative team in an internationally recognized department with strengths in agricultural, environmental, and natural resource economics, including sustainable agriculture and international development.

Funding details

One-year postdoctoral position with potential extension contingent on funding availability. Salary is $65,000–$70,000, with regular faculty benefits.

What's required

A PhD in environmental and resource economics or a closely related field is required. Candidates should have strong training in bioeconomic modeling and quantitative analysis, demonstrated programming skills (R preferred, though other platforms are welcome), strong writing and oral communication skills, and the ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative research environment. Experience or strong interest in optimization, simulation, spatial analysis, ecological-economic integration, stakeholder engagement, outreach, decision support, invasive species, biosecurity, conservation, or related environmental management challenges is desirable. Employment is contingent on completion of a background check and employment eligibility verification.
