<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Laurie Nowatzke, and I serve as coordinator for the USDA Midwest Climate Hub. We are excited to advertise two fellowship positions who will conduct research related to climate-smart agriculture alongside several federal and university
partners. Please consider applying and sharing widely with your network.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/job/811025200">Midwest Climate Hub & Agricultural Research Service Climate Mitigation Fellow</a> (two openings)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two postdoctoral fellows will work in the USDA Midwest Climate Hub, Agricultural Research Service. They will work alongside university partners to synthesize the current science and research on climate-resilient agricultural systems and
practices. The research associates will conduct literature reviews, develop novel research, and support expert listening sessions. They will develop summary reports and syntheses, and present results to and with external partners. Candidates must have a Ph.D.
in soil science, agronomy, crop science, agroecology, ecology, or a related field. <b>Applications are due 8 October 2024.
</b>Please direct questions to Laurie Nowatzke, <a href="mailto:laurie.nowatzke@usda.gov">
