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. Counties of Responsibility: This position will be headquartered in the UCCE Solano County office and serves Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties. (The three counties combined are referred to as UCCE Capitol Corridor). Reporting Relationship: In this appointment, you will report directly to the UC Cooperative Extension Director for the three-county Cooperative Extension Capitol Corridor unit and the UC IPM Statewide Director. It is not a remote position; the candidate must be available to work onsite at the headquarters in Fairfield, CA, and travel to and be present in all three counties served. Specific expectations for maintaining office hours and fieldwork in the geographic area covered by this position will be outlined upon hire by the respective supervisors. Qualifications and Skills Required Education: A minimum of a master's degree in a pest management discipline or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment. Key Qualifications The candidate should have a deep understanding of urban integrated pest management and be able to design and implement a program that leads to positive changes and impact. Qualitative skills and experience with experimental design are required. Practical experience or training in structural and/or landscape pest management Demonstrated ability to effectively plan projects, manage teams, and implement applied research and outreach programs, including setting measurable goals and objectives The Advisor must possess or obtain within one year a Qualified Pesticide Applicator Certificate (QAC) or License (QAL) before applying or supervising the application of any pesticide. Ability and means to travel on a flexible schedule as needed. Proof of liability and property damage insurance on the vehicle used is required. Must possess or obtain a valid California Driver's License to drive a county or university vehicle. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. at the time of hire. Additional Skills Required Applicants need to meet appointment criteria for the respective University of California academic title series and evidence for success in meeting required academic advancement criteria as per UC Academic Personnel Manuals. Applications need to document relevant research, extension, and teaching experience, and appropriate scholarly achievements. Interest in and desire to pursue a career in UC Cooperative Extension. Technical Competence and Impact: The candidate should understand key concepts to optimize engagement and development and be able to design and implement a program that leads to positive changes and impact within the community and beyond. Communication: Demonstrated excellence in written, oral, interpersonal, and information technology communication skills. Collaboration, Teamwork, and Flexibility: The candidate should demonstrate the ability to collaborate as a team member with key external stakeholders, county-based staff, and other colleagues within UC ANR. Lifelong Learning: There is an expectation that Advisors evolve and grow across their careers and respond to changes in the industry, clientele, and organizational structure.

Small Farms Advisor(AP 23-17) University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Application Window Open date: November 14, 2025 Next review date: Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee. Final date: Friday, Feb 6, 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 Position Overview The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) offers a unique recruitment opportunity for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Small Farms Advisor. The Small Farms Advisor will conduct an integrated program of extension and applied research to support economic viability and sustainable production for small-scale farms in Fresno and Madera Counties. This position will support a clientele of specialty crop producers on small-scale and diversified farms, including limited-resource and beginning farmers growing unique crops for direct and niche markets including farmers markets, specialty wholesale markets, aggregation hubs, and roadside stands. Crops include a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs as well as tropical and subtropical crops grown on small acreages, such as Asian specialty vegetables and herbs, strawberries, caneberries, emerging crops such as moringa, and small-acreage fruits such as jujube and guava. These crops are often grown in diversified production systems, include both conventional and organic production, and are sold at culturally specific niche markets and/or contribute to food security for diverse urban and rural communities. While there is no defined limit for acreage, most farms covered by this position are 80 acres or less, with the majority under 50 acres, and target their produce towards alternative markets. 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, curricula, 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. 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 UC system. Location Headquarters: The position will be headquartered in Fresno County, 550 E. Shaw Avenue, Suite 210 B, Fresno, CA 93710. Position Details The Small Farms Advisor will address critical issues related to sustainable crop production, economics and marketing, and compliance with regulatory programs and requirements including food safety, labor, pesticide use, nitrogen fertilizer use, and groundwater management. Support for small-scale growers will include field consultations, problem solving, and technical assistance in addition to applied research. This position is part of the UC ANR Small Farms Network and includes ongoing collaboration with statewide efforts providing technical assistance for small farms with access to resources, regulatory compliance, on-farm production, marketing and business support, and climate smart agriculture. The Small Farms Advisor will also provide expertise in nutrient management, irrigation, and integrated pest management, including through collaborations developed with other UCCE advisors and specialists, UC faculty, and private industry representatives. An existing team of several staff providing education, technical assistance, and applied research support is available to support the goals of this position through current externally funded projects. The advisor will develop and implement an applied research program to provide science-based solutions for small-scale, diversified, limited-resource, beginning, and underserved growers, address current and emerging issues in production, economics, and policy, and promote local and regional problem solving. The applied research program will be based upon a needs assessment and will initially include the ongoing projects for which funding and staff support are already secured. Research collaborations may include partnerships with a variety of campus and county-based colleagues as well as partner organizations. Field research activities may be conducted on private farms and at the nearby Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center (KARE). Applied research, extension, technical assistance, and policy communication include extensive collaboration with growers, community-based nonprofit organizations, and public agencies. Small-scale and underserved farmers in Fresno and Madera Counties often have limited resources, and their economic viability can be affected by regulatory requirements with a lack of fit between smaller or diversified farms and regulatory and incentive programs set up for larger farming operations.

Small Farms Advisor(AP 23-17) University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Application Window Open date: November 14, 2025 Next review date: Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee. Final date: Friday, Feb 6, 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 Position Overview The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) offers a unique recruitment opportunity for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Small Farms Advisor. The Small Farms Advisor will conduct an integrated program of extension and applied research to support economic viability and sustainable production for small-scale farms in Fresno and Madera Counties. This position will support a clientele of specialty crop producers on small-scale and diversified farms, including limited-resource and beginning farmers growing unique crops for direct and niche markets including farmers markets, specialty wholesale markets, aggregation hubs, and roadside stands. Crops include a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs as well as tropical and subtropical crops grown on small acreages, such as Asian specialty vegetables and herbs, strawberries, caneberries, emerging crops such as moringa, and small-acreage fruits such as jujube and guava. These crops are often grown in diversified production systems, include both conventional and organic production, and are sold at culturally specific niche markets and/or contribute to food security for diverse urban and rural communities. While there is no defined limit for acreage, most farms covered by this position are 80 acres or less, with the majority under 50 acres, and target their produce towards alternative markets. 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, curricula, 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. 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 UC system. Location Headquarters: The position will be headquartered in Fresno County, 550 E. Shaw Avenue, Suite 210 B, Fresno, CA 93710. Position Details The Small Farms Advisor will address critical issues related to sustainable crop production, economics and marketing, and compliance with regulatory programs and requirements including food safety, labor, pesticide use, nitrogen fertilizer use, and groundwater management. Support for small-scale growers will include field consultations, problem solving, and technical assistance in addition to applied research. This position is part of the UC ANR Small Farms Network and includes ongoing collaboration with statewide efforts providing technical assistance for small farms with access to resources, regulatory compliance, on-farm production, marketing and business support, and climate smart agriculture. The Small Farms Advisor will also provide expertise in nutrient management, irrigation, and integrated pest management, including through collaborations developed with other UCCE advisors and specialists, UC faculty, and private industry representatives. An existing team of several staff providing education, technical assistance, and applied research support is available to support the goals of this position through current externally funded projects. The advisor will develop and implement an applied research program to provide science-based solutions for small-scale, diversified, limited-resource, beginning, and underserved growers, address current and emerging issues in production, economics, and policy, and promote local and regional problem solving. The applied research program will be based upon a needs assessment and will initially include the ongoing projects for which funding and staff support are already secured. Research collaborations may include partnerships with a variety of campus and county-based colleagues as well as partner organizations. Field research activities may be conducted on private farms and at the nearby Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center (KARE). Applied research, extension, technical assistance, and policy communication include extensive collaboration with growers, community-based nonprofit organizations, and public agencies. Small-scale and underserved farmers in Fresno and Madera Counties often have limited resources, and their economic viability can be affected by regulatory requirements with a lack of fit between smaller or diversified farms and regulatory and incentive programs set up for larger farming operations.
