Position description Position Overview The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension Area Orchard Systems Advisor, serving Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. The successful candidate will implement an innovative multi-county extension education and applied research program that will focus on almonds and pistachios in Stanislaus County and peaches and apricots in Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. Disciplinary focus will be on orchard production systems, nutrient management, pest management, water efficiency, and soil fertility and health. UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and the extension of knowledge. Research activities are applied, needs-based, mission-oriented, and focused on addressing our communities' challenges. Extension activities are educational practices Advisors use to share research results directly with their clientele and communities. Increased knowledge and understanding of science-based research helps to support and promote the adoption of practices and technologies that solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations, presentations, organization of educational workshops and short courses, field demonstrations, farm calls, and site visits. Information may also be disseminated via radio outreach, webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs, and social media. Publications are expected in various formats, such as newsletters, articles for the popular press, curriculums, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding and adoption of new skills, practices, changed attitudes, policies, and improved environmental, health, agricultural, economic, and/or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: extending knowledge, applied research and creative activity, professional competence and activity, and University and public service. Location Headquarters: This position will be headquartered in the UCCE Office in Stanislaus County, located at 3800 Cornucopia Way, #A, Modesto, CA 95358. Position Details The Area Orchard Systems Advisor will support the ANR Public Values of "Promoting economic prosperity in California" through increases in agriculture efficiency and profitability; "Protecting California's natural resources" by improving land management, soil quality, agricultural sustainability, water quality, and water use efficiency; and "Building climate-resilient communities and ecosystems" by increasing resilience to extreme weather and climate change by improving water resiliency with on-farm practices such as groundwater recharge and recycling water and biomass. The advisor will develop an applied research program to address critical issues facing orchard crops. These include irrigation and fertigation efficiency, rootstock and variety evaluation, cropping efficiency, overcoming salt and soil chemistry challenges, soil health and cover cropping, invasive disease epidemics and use of plant growth regulators to help overcome issues related to climate change. Priorities may include fruit harvest mechanization to address labor shortages, canopy size and structure to facilitate harvest efficiency, and fertilization strategies to optimize fruit size, yield, and quality. There is strong support from the local industry that will allow the new advisor to address high-profile policy issues (e.g. Flood Managed Aquifer Recharge and Climate Smart Ag) such as fertilizer and irrigation management concerns that are facing additional regulation in coming years but are key to advancing profitability. There are numerous publication opportunities across these crops and disciplines, including trade journal publications, commodity board technical reports, and scientific journals.

About Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties At the center of California's San Joaquin Valley, Stanislaus County is comprised of just over 1500 square miles, and a population of over half a million residents, centered in the county seat of Modesto. It has a rich agricultural history, as does neighboring San Joaquin County, just to the north. San Joaquin County has an area of just under 1500 square miles and a population of over 800,000 residents, most concentrated in the county seat of Stockton. Despite their growing metro areas, agriculture continues to be a key sector in both counties, which are two of the top ten counties in the U.S. in terms of their farm production. Almonds are a cornerstone of the agricultural economy that sustains rural and urban livelihoods in the Northern San Joaquin Valley. Stanislaus County is currently third in almond production in the state, with over 200,000 acres. With support from UCCE, almond production has largely remained a local, family industry with a large population of part-time and small-acreage family farmers (less than 40 acres). Stanislaus County boasts California's largest multi-million-dollar tree fruit nursery industry. Learn more about UC ANR and UC ANR Mission Statement.

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, finding solutions for problems facing society that are related to the mission of the UCCE Specialist's discipline and the UCCE mission. UCCE Specialists publish the results of applied research in a combination of peer-reviewed publications and stakeholder-facing materials, including refereed journals, technical reports, and white papers, tailored to the needs of the audiences their programs serve. Extension programs disseminate knowledge and information to clientele groups to help them better understand and address problems and opportunities they face. 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.

Location Headquarters: This position will be headquartered in the UC Cooperative Extension Office in Imperial County, located at 1050 E. Holton Road, Holtville, California, 92250. Position Details Low desert agricultural production areas in Southeastern California are dynamic, diverse, and challenging. They encompass some of the state's most productive areas due to their mild winters, extended growing seasons, and access to irrigation water. Crop planting and harvesting cycles reflect the arid nature of the Southwest and differ substantially from those in the rest of California. Accordingly, it is important that agricultural production information be locally generated. Weed management is a critical area for applied research in this unique growing area. The Advisor will develop applied weed management research locally and in partnerships with collaborators. It is expected that applied research will cover the low desert agricultural areas of Imperial and Riverside Counties, including the Imperial, Coachella, and Palo Verde Valleys, which produce more than 100 commodities year-round. Research is expected to address weed management practices, including weed biology, ecology, and other weed management techniques. Low desert crops are infested with various weeds, including noxious and invasive weeds, as well as those resistant to herbicides. Weed management research programs will be developed and carried out in collaboration with UC ANR academics and appropriate statewide efforts, including UC ANR Program Teams and Workgroups, local stakeholders, and other collaborating industries in Imperial and Riverside Counties. The Advisor is expected to collaborate with other Cooperative Extension (CE) and Agricultural Extension Stations (AES) researchers and educators to conduct research and education programs that address the issues within weed management and related disciplines. The advisor will be supported by CE and AES specialists and researchers at UC Davis, UC Riverside, and UC Berkeley. Additionally, the Advisor will also collaborate with USDA ARS scientists, community groups, neighboring state agricultural agents and specialists, relevant community colleges, and state universities. Partnering/collaborating with local agencies, County of Imperial Department of Agriculture, Weights, and Measures, County of Riverside Department of Agriculture, Weights, and Measures, Imperial Weed Management Area (WMA) groups, Low Desert WMA groups, and California Invasive Plant Council is also encouraged. Science-based research results and other educational information will be disseminated using a variety of methods including individual consultations, presentations at grower and industry meetings, workshops, short courses, field demonstrations, UC ANR publications, peer-reviewed journal articles, newsletters, technical reports to commodity boards/funding agencies, and an appropriate mix of contemporary and emerging electronic tools (such as online learning, web content systems and repositories, social media, impact and evaluation tools), along with specialized and public media outlets. The advisor will collaborate with other local UCCE Advisors to organize educational extension events and workshops. Key clientele will include commercial farms (both large and small), pest control advisers, allied industries, commodity groups, seed companies, conservation/environmental groups, public agencies, and consumers. The growing popularity of home gardening in Imperial and Riverside Counties may create an opportunity to reach urban and gardening clientele. The advisor joins a team of highly motivated UCCE colleagues who are passionate about their work. This is an exciting opportunity to develop and deliver relevant program content and make a difference within local communities and throughout California.
