Position description Position Overview The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Specialist at the Assistant rank. Positioned within the UC ANR Policy Institute, this crucial new role will bridge the gap between cutting-edge agricultural research and policy development, offering a unique opportunity to drive science-based policy in California and beyond. The Specialist will pursue translational research and extension designed to enhance the effectiveness of UC ANR scholarship in applying research results to inform and shape policy decisions. Internally, the Specialist will help UC ANR researchers design projects that engage key state agricultural policy issues and translate research in a manner that informs California decision makers. Externally, the Specialist is likely to engage with a wide range of state and local stakeholders, including legislators, agency staff, and industry organizations, to support their access to and understanding of UC ANR research. UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) 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 support 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, 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.

Publish findings, best practices, and case studies in accessible formats, including peer-reviewed journals, ANR outlets, industry publications, and relevant online platforms to widen the reach and impact of research outcomes. Participate in professional society activities and scholarly contributions, attaining goals of state, national, and international recognition over time.

Cooperative Extension Urban Integrated Pest Management Area Advisor - Serving Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties (AP 22-39) University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Application Window Open date: November 7, 2025 Next review date: Sunday, Jan 4, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee. Final date: Saturday, Apr 4, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled. Position description The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Urban Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Area Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties. The Advisor will develop an innovative applied research and extension education program that supports Integrated Pest Management in the three-county area. The IPM Advisor will focus on high-priority pest control issues, including landscape pests (weeds, plant diseases, insects, vertebrates) and pests in and around structures (insects and commensal rodents). The Advisor will work closely with public agency staff, licensed structural and landscape pest management professionals, and other public health and pest control practitioners. UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and extension of knowledge. Research activities are applied, needs-based, and mission-oriented, focusing on addressing the challenges in our communities. Extension activities are the educational practices that Advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities to increase their knowledge and understanding of science-based research that supports and promotes the adoption of practices and technologies to solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations, presentations, organizing educational workshops and short courses, field demonstrations, 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, curricula, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding, adopting new skills, practices, attitudes, and policies, and improved environmental, health, 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: The position will be headquartered at the UCCE Solano County at 501 Texas Street, Fairfield, CA, 94533, with frequent office time spent at the UCCE office in Sacramento. The three counties served encompass the UC Cooperative Extension Capitol Corridor Unit. Position Details The Urban IPM Area Advisor will develop IPM strategies to effectively manage pests in urban areas while protecting public health and the environment. Key clientele include public agency staff, pest management professionals licensed by either the Structural Pest Control Board or the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, and members of the general public. Although pesticide use is commonly attributed to agriculture, about half of the non-water treatment pesticides used in California are applied in urban settings. Pesticides applied in urban and residential settings may result in significant human exposure, and urban pesticide runoff causes higher levels of pesticide contamination of urban surface water resources than agricultural surface water resources. Safe and effective pest management is needed to protect Californians from the negative health impacts of pests and practices used to manage pests in the places where most residents live, work, and play. Extension and Research: This is an exciting opportunity to develop and deliver relevant program content that will impact local communities and throughout California. Extension activities will include coordinating with local public agencies, pest management professional groups (such as the California Pest Management Association and Pesticide Applicators Professional Association), the UC IPM Program, and faculty and CE Specialists at the UC Riverside and UC Berkeley Urban Pest Management Centers to develop, implement, and participate in train the trainer programs and hands on workshops for urban pest managers. The Advisor will coordinate or participate in projects that demonstrate IPM practices to local audiences, directly (for example, to landscape and structural pest professionals) or indirectly, through UC Master Gardener Volunteers. In addition, the IPM Advisor will develop information for trade journals and UC ANR educational materials, such as Pest Notes, Quick Tips, and other UC ANR publications. Research projects will focus on developing IPM programs to address high-priority landscape pests or pests in and around structures. The Urban IPM Area Advisor will be expected to identify local research needs with statewide implications, develop teams to address them, and establish metrics to indicate progress. The expected outcome of the Urban IPM Area Advisor's program will be increased use of IPM practices that improve management of urban pests, address pests of public health significance, reduce unnecessary or unsafe pesticide use, and reduce pesticide contamination of surface water resources. Some ways that success can be measured include change in practices, increased use of IPM strategies, or increased awareness of pesticide safety. The Urban IPM Area Advisor is expected to publish in relevant pest management journals, such as Journal of Integrated Pest Management, Environmental Entomology, and Weed Science.

Cooperative Extension Urban Integrated Pest Management Area Advisor - Serving Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties (AP 22-39) University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Application Window Open date: November 7, 2025 Next review date: Sunday, Jan 4, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee. Final date: Saturday, Apr 4, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled. Position description The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Urban Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Area Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties. The Advisor will develop an innovative applied research and extension education program that supports Integrated Pest Management in the three-county area. The IPM Advisor will focus on high-priority pest control issues, including landscape pests (weeds, plant diseases, insects, vertebrates) and pests in and around structures (insects and commensal rodents). The Advisor will work closely with public agency staff, licensed structural and landscape pest management professionals, and other public health and pest control practitioners. UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and extension of knowledge. Research activities are applied, needs-based, and mission-oriented, focusing on addressing the challenges in our communities. Extension activities are the educational practices that Advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities to increase their knowledge and understanding of science-based research that supports and promotes the adoption of practices and technologies to solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations, presentations, organizing educational workshops and short courses, field demonstrations, 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, curricula, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding, adopting new skills, practices, attitudes, and policies, and improved environmental, health, 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: The position will be headquartered at the UCCE Solano County at 501 Texas Street, Fairfield, CA, 94533, with frequent office time spent at the UCCE office in Sacramento. The three counties served encompass the UC Cooperative Extension Capitol Corridor Unit. Position Details The Urban IPM Area Advisor will develop IPM strategies to effectively manage pests in urban areas while protecting public health and the environment. Key clientele include public agency staff, pest management professionals licensed by either the Structural Pest Control Board or the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, and members of the general public. Although pesticide use is commonly attributed to agriculture, about half of the non-water treatment pesticides used in California are applied in urban settings. Pesticides applied in urban and residential settings may result in significant human exposure, and urban pesticide runoff causes higher levels of pesticide contamination of urban surface water resources than agricultural surface water resources. Safe and effective pest management is needed to protect Californians from the negative health impacts of pests and practices used to manage pests in the places where most residents live, work, and play.
