The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM)
at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) is seeking an Assistant
Cooperative Extension (CE) Specialist in Silviculture/Applied Forest
Ecology. This position is a full time, career-track appointment. The CE
Specialist will be a key member of UCB’s Center for Forestry, which has
oversight of over 10,000 acres of UC research forestlands. In addition,
the CE Specialist is expected to provide leadership to UC Agriculture
and Natural Resources (UCANR) forest related teams.
The CE Specialist is expected to work closely with family forest owners,
professional resource managers, government agencies, forest interest
groups, and policy makers to develop a visible and identifiable program
of outreach. Extension activities with these groups include workshops,
symposia, field days, webinars, and technical publications. The CE
Specialist will have a rich network of UC faculty, specialists and
advisors working on rangelands, oak woodlands, watersheds, and
environmental education to collaborate with on projects. Given the need
to revitalize and rethink how we manage forests in the era of global
change, this position will complement UC's depth in the ecology, policy,
sociology, and economics of forests with expertise on improving the
health and quality of our forests.
