About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Digital Agriculture and Workforce Development
Texas A&M AgriLife Research’s Department of Agricultural Economics is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the USDA-NIFA AFRI-funded project Adapting to Digitalization: Labor Market Access and Workforce Development in Tech-driven Agricultural Systems.
Under the direction of Dr. Maria Bampasidou and Dr. Yuri Calil, the postdoctoral scholar will join an interdisciplinary team spanning digital agriculture, data sciences, soil and crop sciences, and ethics. The project examines how emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, computer vision, drones, and autonomous decision tools—reshape farm labor demand, skill requirements, technology adoption, trust, and rural communities.
The researcher will bridge quantitative applied microeconomics with qualitative social science methods. Core activities include mapping agricultural digital divides related to skills, scale, geography, and technology use; modeling stakeholder perceptions and the systemic effects of these divides; and developing pathways for resilient agricultural workforce development.
The role involves designing and analyzing producer and stakeholder focus groups, semi-structured interviews, and state or regional surveys across Texas and Louisiana. The postdoctoral scholar will contribute to peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, grant development, extension briefs, policy recommendations, and educational materials for producers, extension personnel, and industry partners.
The position also offers experience in collaborative project coordination, including mentoring students, coordinating multi-institutional meetings, managing IRB protocols, preparing sponsor reports, and building partnerships with faculty, producer organizations, and other stakeholders. The work is based on site in College Station, Texas, with field research travel required.

What's required
Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics, Applied Economics, Public Policy, Economics with an emphasis on behavioral or labor economics, or a closely related social science such as Anthropology or Rural Sociology by the start date. Required qualifications include demonstrated expertise in applied research methods; strong expertise in statistical and econometric software such as R, Python, or Stata; experience with qualitative coding software; evidence of scholarly productivity through published or accepted peer-reviewed articles or strong working papers; and strong oral and written communication skills for academic and agricultural producer audiences. Applicants must hold a valid driver’s license and be able to travel independently for field research and focus-group administration. Preferred qualifications include survey and stakeholder-engaged research experience, mixed-methods research experience, advanced modeling experience, familiarity with Southern U.S. agricultural systems and precision-agriculture tools, and experience with interdisciplinary teams or cooperative extension programs.
