The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada) is accepting applications for a three-year Postdoctoral Fellow position. The successful candidate will work full-time across two projects focused on the economics of climate-smart agriculture in Canada.

Under the co-supervision of Dr. Nicholas Tyack (Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics) and Dr. Yang Yang (Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy), the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary research team from multiple domestic and international institutions, co-author peer-reviewed publications, and participate in professional conferences. This position will also provide the opportunity to conduct research in a number of areas, such as identifying producer constraints to adoption of climate-smart crop rotations, assessing consumer preferences for novel traits in pea products, or modeling the GHG emission reduction benefits of adopting climate-smart crop rotations. This position will provide a competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience, along with an attractive benefits package.

This research contributes to two pan-Canadian projects focused on the promotion of climate-smart agriculture: ACTIVATing genomics to accelerate climate-smart crop delivery, and Pea Climate-Efficient: Developing climate-resilient, low carbon footprint field pea as a preferred rotation crop through inter-disciplinary integration of genomic technologies.

Applicants are expected to hold a PhD in Agricultural Economics, Economics, or a similar field (or expected to obtain one by fall 2024). A background in agricultural and environmental policy, particularly related to climate-smart agriculture, is desirable.

Located in the vibrant city of Saskatoon in the land of the living sky, the USask is home to world-leading research of global importance. The University of Saskatchewan embraces equity, diversity and inclusion and seeks applicants who can contribute to a welcoming, engaging environment for students and researchers of all genders, races, abilities, and backgrounds. The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics is a collegial and supportive work environment dedicated to the advancement and application of knowledge through academic excellence.

Applications will be accepted until November 30th, 2023 and will be reviewed by the Search Committee starting December 1, 2023.
