About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service is based in Burlington, Vermont, within the Food Systems Research Unit. The project focuses on remote sensing of Northeastern pastures and aims to characterize the long-term phenology of perennial pasturelands across the Northeastern United States.

The fellow will work on understanding the drivers and impacts of phenological change across the region’s ecoregions, with particular attention to how long-term weather patterns shape forage phenology and productivity. The research also examines agricultural land use change and its relationship to regional pasture potential, food systems, and economic and environmental outcomes.

Working with the USDA-ARS team, the participant will gain experience in collecting and combining productivity, geospatial, land-use, economic, and environmental datasets. The work brings together remote sensing, geospatial modeling, and statistical analysis, and involves collaboration with food systems modelers, agronomists, GIS specialists, and animal scientists.

The project is framed around regional opportunities in New England and New York, including the possibility of supporting grass-based ruminant livestock systems and more nutrient-dense animal-source protein products. The research environment emphasizes agricultural sustainability, land use transitions, and applied scientific tools for regional food system analysis.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $6,600, plus a $465 health insurance supplement and a $5,000 travel budget.
