About this position

The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in agricultural price risk management and commodity markets for a one-year appointment within the Fryar Price Risk Management Center of Excellence in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness.

The fellow will develop applied research, outreach, and decision-support products for agricultural producers, industry participants, and policymakers. A central project is an interactive hedging tool for row-crop and livestock operations. The tool will allow users to enter variables such as planted acreage, expected yields, production costs, storage costs, basis levels, and marketing strategies, then examine potential profit margins and the likelihood of different outcomes under alternative market conditions.

The role also includes producing monthly summaries of USDA reports, including WASDE, grain stocks, and cattle-on-feed reports. These products will compare updated supply-and-demand information with previous reports and market expectations, analyze futures and calendar-spread movements, forecast likely price ranges using stocks-to-use models and options-market implied volatility, and provide practical hedging guidance.

A third major deliverable is an interactive WASDE dashboard. The dashboard will present changes in agricultural supply and demand estimates, compare new information with market expectations and prior reports, show market responses after report releases, and provide historical context across major agricultural commodities. The underlying analytical framework will support regular updates and expansion across commodity markets.

The postdoctoral fellow will work collaboratively with Fryar Center faculty and contribute to research reports, outreach materials, presentations, podcasts, analytical tools, and other Center products. The position emphasizes applied research and stakeholder engagement aligned with the Center’s collective mission rather than an independent research agenda or primarily journal-focused work. The appointment is based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, within the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.

Funding details

One-year fixed-term postdoctoral appointment beginning January 2027. Salary is commensurate with education and experience. The position is not benefits eligible, and sponsorship is not available.
