[ES_JOBS_NET] 2-year Postdoc position Exploring Agrivoltaics as an Innovative Food-Energy-Water Solution (UofAZ)

[Greg Barron-Gafford]

*Exploring Agrivoltaics as an Innovative Food-Energy-Water Solution*

Two Post-doctoral research positions open at the University of Arizona
<https://talent.arizona.edu/>

The School of Geography, Development, and the Environment, in partnership
with the Biosphere 2 <https://biosphere2.org/> and the Udall Center
<https://udallcenter.arizona.edu/> for Studies in Public Policy, is excited
to announce two 2-year postdoctoral research associate positions to focus
on agrivoltaics. We are at a crucial moment across our drylands, where a
changing climate is pushing our food, energy, and water systems towards a
tipping point. By colocating *agri*culture and photo*voltaics* (Solar
panels) on the same land, we have found enormous potential to create
resilience across these three systems.

Interested applicants can learn more about the topic at:
https://www.barrongafford.org/agrivoltaics.html/, or watch a video about
ongoing agrivoltaic research across Arizona and Colorado at

*Interested applicants should apply here
<https://arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home/requisition/13746?c=arizona>
ASAP, to ensure full consideration.*

Because this is such a new and growing field, we recognize few individuals
will have extensive experience with the concept of agrivoltaics.

*Minimum Qualifications*
* Doctoral degree or equivalent in geography, environmental science,
ecology, or a related field
* Enthusiasm for applied environmental and biophysical research
* Willingness to conduct and lead field work across sites
* Strong field biophysical or plant ecophysiological methodological and
data analytical skills

*Preferred Qualifications*
* Comfort working in teams, leading team meetings, and supervising students
* Record of published research in areas of plant ecophysiology, applied
crop science, ecosystem ecology, or related field
