<p class="MsoNormal">The Union of Concerned Scientists Food & Environment Program is seeking a postdoc/fellow to conduct research on agroecological solutions for mitigating drought risk and costs in managed watersheds. The position will begin in October 2015
with a term of up to 2 years. The deadline to apply is 18 November 2014. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Project Description<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Agroecological solutions for drought risk and costs: The Fellow will conduct original research to quantify the potential impacts of future drought scenarios in major U.S. agricultural watersheds and identify the extent to which a shift
to ecologically-based practices could mitigate those effects. Through this lens, the Fellow will examine the sustainability of farmlands and rangelands, food production, and farm profits. This research will be part of a broader effort to understand the climate,
environmental, and economic impacts of agroecological systems and the Fellow will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop a strong project, craft policy recommendations, and communicate findings to media, policymakers, experts, and the
public. <o:p></o:p></p>
