About this position

This postdoctoral position is based in Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Department of Ecology & Conservation Biology, with the appointee stationed at the USDA ARS OCPARC lab in El Reno, Oklahoma. The project is collaborative and involves work with ARS and Texas A&M University scientists in a research environment focused on agriculture, ecology, and life sciences across the Texas A&M University System.

The postdoc will contribute to research on regenerative conservation practices aimed at promoting soil health and agricultural sustainability in farmland and rangeland of the southern Great Plains. The role combines synthesis and applied field research: developing science syntheses, conducting field studies in grazed tallgrass prairie pastures that are periodically burned, and in pastures planted with annual cool- and warm-season forages. The appointee will also help identify knowledge gaps, publish research findings, and create factsheets and other outreach materials based on the work.

The position includes stakeholder engagement and coordination with state and local NRCS staff so that research questions reflect stakeholder needs and findings are translated into outreach products. The work spans ecology, rangeland systems, grazing and vegetation studies, spatial and statistical analysis, and science communication within a multi-institutional applied research setting.

Funding details

Funded through grants or contracts; continued employment depends on ongoing funding and satisfactory job performance.

What's required

PhD in ecology or a related field at the time of hiring. Excellent technical writing skills and strong oral communication skills are required, along with a strong ability to work collaboratively, multitask, and cooperate with others. Preferred qualifications include significant research experience in ecology and management of rangelands in the southern Great Plains, peer-reviewed publications, experience designing and conducting field-based rangeland studies, GIS, remote sensing and spatial analysis/modeling using Google Earth Engine and R, meta-analysis, statistical analysis using R, knowledge of regenerative conservation practices and soil health assessment, and substantial experience in vegetation and/or grazing studies in rangelands of the southern Great Plains. Ability to travel for fieldwork and meetings, including outside regular working days/hours, and ability to conduct field work in challenging weather conditions such as heat are required.

How to apply

Apply through the Workday application link provided. Include all job application data or a complete resume, and upload the required documents: CV or resume, cover letter, list of references, and any applicable certifications or additional documentation. Incomplete applications may be rejected.
