The University of Vermont is excited to announce a cluster-hire of post-doctoral associates with a focus on measuring local and regional sustainable food systems. The two-year positions (with potential option for renewal) will work with UVM faculty in collaboration with US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and will be based at UVM, in conjunction with the ARS Food Systems Research Center.
The post-doctorate associates will work on a specific project funded to benchmark sustainability indicators and metrics to assess the comprehensive sustainability of local and regional food systems in the Northeast.
