The Department of Agricultural & Applied Economics at Virginia Tech is seeking two highly motivated applied economists to join our team as (Senior) Research Scientists in the Fall of 2024. Depending on the qualifications of the successful candidate, the positions may be filled at the senior research scientist or research scientist level. The positions are twelve-month, calendar year, restricted positions; which will be reviewed annually, based upon funds available, needs of service, and performance. As part of our work with the Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture, the Research Scientist positions will be responsible for leading the conceptualization and conduct of research projects, managing and ensuring completion of the objectives of a sponsored research program, and delivering research materials, including writing peer-reviewed journal articles and making presentations at academic conferences and for public audiences on topics such as: - Estimating the consumer demand for climate-smart certified food products using incentivized lab-in-the-field choice experiments in a relevant setting - Rigorously assessing the range of ecosystem service values associated with climate-smart agricultural practices pursued as part of the program - Evaluating the drivers and impacts of climate-smart agricultural practice adoption, with a focus on the role of financial incentives and program design from our pilot program for ecosystem services The effectiveness of the research agenda will be influenced by the Alliance faculty members' ability to work closely with relevant partners, including fellow researchers, private sector retailers, soil and water conservation districts, and producers. About The Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture The Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture is a coalition of organizations, led by Virginia Tech, that will implement an $80 million, three-year project funded by the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). This project will be implemented across four states - Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Virginia - and will feature payments to farmers to adopt climate-smart agriculture practices to increase resilience and climate change mitigation. Virginia Tech faculty will conduct a rigorous research agenda to evaluate the implementation and impacts of this program. Under the three-year pilot, Virginia Tech and its partners will help producers in the four states prove the value of paying farmers and ranchers $100 per acre or animal unit for stewardship practices that deliver public value through carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas reduction, improved soil health, water quality, water conservation, and other environmental services. We aim to create a national model for incentivizing and rewarding farmers for adopting climate-smart practices.
