Position Overview
The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR), in collaboration with the University of California, Merced, invites applications for a Professor of Cooperative Extension at the Assistant Rank, which has the formal appointment title Specialist in Cooperative Extension.
The Professor of Cooperative Extension-Groundwater Quantity and Quality will address the challenges of drought, climate change, and their link to long-term groundwater overdraft through an innovative research and extension program. In collaboration with academics, public agencies, and non-profit and private sector partners, they will build capacity across California to sustainably manage groundwater quantity and quality. The successful candidate is expected to develop applied research that supports sustainable use strategies and conduct outreach that facilitates the adoption of new science-based knowledge for water management in the western region of California's Central Valley. We seek a candidate with expertise in areas including hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, sustainable groundwater management, current (e.g., salinity, nitrates, TCPs) and emerging (e.g., microplastics, PFAS) contaminants in groundwater, groundwater monitoring and modeling, managed aquifer recharge, and strategic cropping systems.
Professors of Cooperative Extension, also known as UCCE (UC Cooperative Extension) Specialists, develop and conduct research and educational programs aimed at appropriate clientele groups in communities outside of UC campuses. UCCE Specialists have programs primarily focused on mission-oriented research or creative work that supports the university's efforts to extend knowledge, including outreach and community engagement. Mission-oriented research describes the complete research continuum that extends from basic research to applications of research results. This research is generally applied in nature and has, as a goal, the solution of a problem facing society that is related to the mission of the UCCE Specialist's discipline and the UCCE mission. UCCE Specialists will publish the results of applied research in a combination of research publication types, whether peer-reviewed or not, based on the relevant audiences served by the UCCE Specialist's program.
The extension program disseminates knowledge and information to clientele groups for their use in improving their abilities to understand and address problems and opportunities facing them. The extension educational program serves the University's public service mission. Educational program activities include, but are not limited to, collaborations with UCCE Advisors, other UCCE Specialists, campus faculty, program teams, workgroups, or clientele groups; developing and presenting educational materials; communicating to clientele through broadcast, print, or electronic media; participating in meetings with clientele; developing and presenting in-service training courses; organizing or participating in workshops, field tours, symposia or conferences. Much of this work is conducted in partnership with UC ANR's locally based UCCE Advisors. The UCCE Specialist - Advisor and faculty partnership creates an applied research network that benefits both the University and the public at large. This position does not include formal classroom instruction at the University.
Location Headquarters. The position will be housed at the UC West Side Research and Extension Center (WSREC) in Five Points and academically positioned within UC ANR, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Merced.
Position Details
The San Joaquin Valley holds significant importance as it leads the nation in the production of various orchard, field, and vegetable crops. However, it relies heavily on groundwater, especially in drought years, which increases pressure on supply and presents significant challenges to developing sustainable farming systems.

Increasingly unpredictable climatic conditions are impacting natural systems as well as large, intensive cropping systems, making research and extension interventions critically important. The WSREC, where the position will be housed, is in the most intensive and diversified farming system in California, faced with multidimensional challenges centered around water availability and quality. The position will benefit from UC Merced's distinguished leadership in precision agricultural technology and its comprehensive portfolio of water research, education, and extension projects. This critical position will address important issues related to groundwater and salinity in this region, which have the potential to be scaled out across California and beyond.

Develop and implement a collaborative research, education and outreach program with the goal of enhancing the sustainable use and quality of groundwater
Conduct applied research on topics such as:
o Subsurface hydrology and assessing groundwater quality in the San Joaquin Valley
o Development and use of models of groundwater hydrology, groundwater/surface water interactions, and chemical fate and transport for management and planning activities, including various scenarios for water use in agriculture
o Design of conjunctive use scenarios for sustainable farming under different cropping patterns
o Evaluation of the impacts of climate change, droughts, floods, nitrates, pesticides, and other chemical applications on groundwater quality and quantity, and development of novel groundwater use strategies considering the quantity-quality relationship approach
o Development of different scenarios and practical guidelines for groundwater recharge through field measurements, remote sensing, and modeling
o Agricultural drainage and its impact on salinity management and groundwater quality
Extend knowledge on groundwater quality and management through different modalities and approaches, which may include extension publications, newsletters, web pages, blogs, policy briefs, UCCE Advisor meetings, on-site visits to farmer locations, stakeholder validation workshops, and grower workshops.
Develop and implement, in collaboration with UC ANR academics, educational programs on groundwater management, with a focus on conjunctive use that maximizes the sustainable use of the available water. This includes groundwater assessment, development of irrigation management and crop selection strategies.
Collaborate with UCCE Advisors and Specialists, UC Merced faculty, UC Research and Extension Centers, and UC ANR statewide programs, institutes, and program teams to conduct applied research and inform extension efforts at the local, regional, and statewide levels.
Engage with networks of groundwater management professionals throughout the state, including the Groundwater Resources Association, and provide expertise to agencies responsible for implementing and overseeing groundwater management, including the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board, and regional Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs).
Network with scientists from DWR, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the US Geological Survey, as well as with private sector experts and stakeholders working on groundwater management plans and technologies.

UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and extension of knowledge. Research activities are applied, needs-based, mission-oriented, and focused on addressing our communities' challenges.

California 4-H embarked on a college and career readiness mission, recently publishing new curricula (Pathways to Your Future), chartering a UC ANR workgroup, and publishing new research; however, focused applied research and education is needed in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties to ensure the power and potential of UCCE in supporting college and career pathways is fully utilized in these counties. College and career readiness and workforce development across a variety of fields including agriculture, science and technology, etc. must be improved to help young people advance to and succeed in post-secondary education and compete for jobs in the 21st century.

The Advisor's work will help provide opportunities for young people to increase their knowledge and improve attitudes about post-secondary educational and career pathways.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop and deliver relevant program content to have meaningful impacts in local communities and throughout California related to:

About UCANR
UC ANR is a division of the University of California (UC) system that bridges the gap between local issues and the expertise of the UC system by providing research-based information, educational programs, and technical expertise to the public in areas such as agriculture, natural resources, nutrition, and youth development. UC ANR is part of a nationwide Cooperative Extension network, which began in the early 20th century to connect research from land-grant universities with the everyday needs of people in communities across the United States. Today, we collaborate with farmers, ranchers, diverse communities, youth and adult educators, and policymakers to address local and statewide issues related to food systems, water, climate change, and sustainable agriculture through a statewide network of campus-based researchers, county-based Advisors, and community educators. Our mission is to cultivate thriving communities, sustainable agriculture, resilient ecosystems, and economic prosperity in California and globally through equitable generation and sharing of collaborative, science-based solutions. Over 180 UCCE Advisors conduct applied research and extension education from county-based UCCE offices serving all 58 counties from 70+ locations. By working and living among those we serve, UC ANR expands the University of California's reach to engage all people and communities in California, ensuring equal access to the resources UC has to offer. Our vision is that UC ANR will be valued in every California community for meaningful engagement and making a positive difference in people's lives.
About Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties
San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties are located on the southern central coast of California and include both rural and urban communities with robust 4-H youth development programs. All three counties include diverse youth populations. In San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties there are 231,000 youth enrolled in public schools, with 61.2% identifying as Latino, 29% white, 4.7% Asian American, 3.4% multi-racial, 1% Black, 0.2% Indigenous (kidsdata.org, 2024). While 50.5% of public-school youth across California earn high school diplomas and complete "all courses required for University of California or California State University admission with a grade of C or better," significantly fewer students do so in Ventura County (47.1%) Santa Barbara County (38.2%), and San Luis Obispo County (35.2%) (kidsdata.org, 2024). Vulnerable youth in these counties also face systemic challenges that impact their school attendance and college/career readiness. For example, unhoused youth in San Luis Obispo County are 188% more likely to miss school on a weekly basis than housed youth (Elfers & Soule, 2023) and youth who are living in poverty are more likely to miss school to provide care to younger siblings while their parent(s) work than their peers.
