Join our team
The University of Vermont is in the final stages of approving a new Institute for Agroecology. This will be a university-wide hub of learning and research, focused on transformative agroecology, justice and equity in food systems. The Institute builds on a decade of work in the Agroecology and Livelihoods Collaborative (ALC), a community of practice that focused on transdisciplinary agroecology and participatory action research. Our small and deeply committed team is excited to invite interested applicants for several new staff positions. At the Institute for Agroecology, we are creating a culture of belonging where a diverse mix of talented people will be inspired to do their best work. We are committed to nurturing a learning and working environment across culture, age, gender, race, ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation. Please circulate widely and reach out if you have any questions.
