Middlebury College seeks a scientist working in Sustainable Agriculture to spearhead the development of a Food Studies program that incorporates both curricular and co-curricular components. This is a full-time, 11-month position. Hiring will be at the full professor rank. We seek a leader in sustainable agriculture and food studies who will contribute to the establishment of a Food Studies curriculum that addresses food systems at local, regional, and global scales, to create a program that integrates the study of food systems—in and out of the classroom, on the Middlebury campus and beyond—with the further development of a sustainable, local system of food production and procurement at the College. The successful candidate will teach courses on the science of sustainable agriculture, and must be eager to engage the unique learning opportunities available at a liberal arts college. Areas of focus of teaching and/or research may include (but are not limited to): agroecology, soil science, biotechnology and food, food production and nutrition, landscape-level processes in agricultural ecosystems, sustainable food systems, sustainable agricultural practices (organic agriculture, integrated pest management), and agricultural adaptations to global change.
