<span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">We are recruiting to fill several positions (4 Graduate Students, 3 Postdoctoral Research Associates, 1 Project Manager, and 1 Project Technician) as part of a 5-year USDA-funded
project focusing on promoting climate-smart and sustainable agriculture in New England through regionally adapted agroforestry systems (Project “ADAPT”). </span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The project integrates research, education, and extension to (i) develop and test three agroforestry systems (silvopasture, multi-strata polycultures or “food-forests”, and forest
farming), (ii) promote agroforestry training and outreach programs for landowners, professionals, and other interested communities through university extension, and (iii) build knowledge and skills around agroforestry as a climate smart solution for expanding
food production through diverse educational opportunities. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Project collaborators include researchers and extension staff from three universities (University of New Hampshire, Dartmouth, and Yale), partners from numerous institutions and
organizations engaged in agroforestry-related activities (e.g., USDA National Agroforestry Center, USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station & Climate Hub, The Nature Conservancy, Whole Systems Design Collective, MidCoast Permaculture Design, ReTreeUS,
Interlace Commons, Food Solutions New England) and individual collaborators throughout the region. Project results will contribute to developing climate-smart agriculture and forestry in New England through (i) mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, (ii) fostering
market opportunities, and (ii) enhancing climate adaptation and resilience. </span></p>
