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.

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.

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. Research that addresses policy solutions to these challenges is encouraged. Extension education activities include the dissemination of science-based research results and educational information using a variety of methods, including individual consultations, presentations at grower, agency, and industry meetings, workshops, short courses, tailgate meetings, and field demonstrations. Dissemination methods further include radio outreach, collaborations with external partners, publications and newsletters in UC ANR and peer-reviewed journals, public comments and policy papers, technical reports to public agencies, and use of contemporary and emerging electronic tools (such as online learning, web content systems and repositories, and social media), along with specialized and public media outlets. Bilingual outreach in Hmong, Spanish, and other relevant languages is a key component of this position, with language support provided by bilingual staff. The Small Farms Advisor will supervise the Hmong Agricultural Assistant in Fresno County and will supervise and/or provide programmatic guidance to county-based staff in the UC ANR Small Farms Network conducting outreach, education, technical assistance, and research activities.

Fresno, California
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. Research that addresses policy solutions to these challenges is encouraged. Extension education activities include the dissemination of science-based research results and educational information using a variety of methods, including individual consultations, presentations at grower, agency, and industry meetings, workshops, short courses, tailgate meetings, and field demonstrations. Dissemination methods further include radio outreach, collaborations with external partners, publications and newsletters in UC ANR and peer-reviewed journals, public comments and policy papers, technical reports to public agencies, and use of contemporary and emerging electronic tools (such as online learning, web content systems and repositories, and social media), along with specialized and public media outlets. Bilingual outreach in Hmong, Spanish, and other relevant languages is a key component of this position, with language support provided by bilingual staff. The Small Farms Advisor will supervise the Hmong Agricultural Assistant in Fresno County and will supervise and/or provide programmatic guidance to county-based staff in the UC ANR Small Farms Network conducting outreach, education, technical assistance, and research activities. UC ANR Small Farms Network. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of highly motivated UCCE colleagues who are passionate about their work and are dedicated to making a difference within their communities and throughout California. There is excellent potential for collaborative projects within the UC ANR system. The Small Farms CE Advisor will be a key member of the UC ANR Small Farms Network (SFN), a statewide team of small farms advisors and extension staff under the UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (UC SAREP) statewide program and will work closely with the SFN to collaborate on joint efforts and accomplish statewide goals. The Advisor will collaborate with SFN statewide efforts including technical assistance for regulatory compliance, access to resources, integrated pest management, and other statewide programming for small farms and will work with SFN county-based staff and statewide coordinators to enhance resources available to small farms clientele. Counties of Responsibility. This position will be headquartered in the UCCE Fresno County office located in Fresno, California and will support small farms clientele in Fresno and Madera Counties. Reporting Relationship: The Small Farms Advisor reports to the UCCE Fresno-Madera Multi-County Partnership (MCP) County Director and the UC SAREP Associate Director for Small Farms. Qualifications and Skills Required Required Qualifications Education: A minimum of a master's degree in plant science, crop science, agronomy, plant pathology, entomology, soil science, horticulture, weed science, plant physiology, agroecology, or a related discipline in the agricultural sciences, or in agricultural economics, is required at the time of appointment.

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.
