[ES_JOBS_NET] 2y+ postdoc UC Davis - climate change and urban tree crops

[Alessandro Ossola]

The Urban Science Lab at UC Davis is hiring a new FFAR-funded postdoc for a project on the impacts of climate change on urban tree crops and human nutrition. I'd be grateful if you could share this opportunity within your network and perspective candidates. https://urbansciencelab.ucdavis.edu/news/postdoc-position-climate-change-and-urban-tree-crops
