Exciting opportunity to join a world-class team in a fast paced start up to develop a tool to support sustainable decision making in agricultural systems. The primary responsibility will be the development of a quantitative framework that integrates the scientific understanding of sustainable agricultural practices from a range of economic and environmental perspectives.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the NSF-EPSCoR GEM3 program (www.idahogem3.org/) aimed at understanding how genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity affect species response to environmental change, shaping both population response and adaptive capacity.
