Position description

Position Overview

The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Area Weed Science Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties.

The Weed Science Advisor will implement an innovative multi-county extension education and applied research program to address weed management challenges in the three-county region, including alternatives to glyphosate, the effectiveness of organic weed control methods, herbicide resistance, air and water quality issues related to weed control practices, and the control of invasive weed species.

UCCE Advisors are responsible for conducting applied research and extending knowledge. Research activities are applied and mission-oriented, focused on addressing challenges in our communities. Extension activities are the educational methods that advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities, increasing knowledge and understanding of science-based research that promotes the adoption of practices and technologies to solve local problems. Extension activities may include individual farm consultations, presentations, or organizing educational workshops, short courses, and field demonstrations. Information may also be disseminated through various channels, such as radio, webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs, social media, and other outlets. Publications are expected in various formats, including newsletters, popular press articles, curricula, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed journals.

Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding, and eventual adoption of new skills or practices, changed attitudes or policies, and improved environmental, economic, or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: 1) extending knowledge, 2) applied research and creative activity, 3) professional competence and activity, and 4) university and public service.

Location Headquarters: This position will be based at the UC Cooperative Extension Office in Sonoma County, located at 133 Aviation Blvd., Santa Rosa, California 95403.

Position Details

Weeds are a critical challenge to the regional productivity of agriculture, pasture, and rangelands, and are responsible for significant production losses, management costs, and labor requirements each year. Growers, ranchers, dairy producers, pest control advisors, and the UC Cooperative Extension network need an Area Weed Science Advisor to provide locally relevant expertise to address production efficiency, crop safety, livestock forage, and environmental issues related to sustainable weed management in the region.

This position will take an integrated approach to weed management, encompassing organic and conventional approaches, while serving a broad range of clientele across multiple cropping systems, pasture, and rangeland. In addition to working across a spectrum of weed management practices, the position will develop expertise and deliver information on related topics, including weed identification, invasive plant management, cover crops, and livestock-crop integration, in collaboration with relevant colleagues. The position will also address aquatic weed identification and management in agricultural water sources, such as irrigation ponds and reservoirs.

The advisor will extend science-based information to clientele who grow grapes, olives, apples, and other orchard crops, a variety of specialty crops, and graze livestock on organic and conventional pastures and rangelands. Key clientele groups include agricultural producers, dairy producers, livestock producers, rangeland managers, Pest Control Advisors (PCAs), Agricultural Commissioner office staff, public resource management agency staff (e.g., Natural Resources Conservation Service, Resource Conservation Districts, Cal Trans, regional parks), and nonprofit conservation organizations. Collaboration with these groups will identify issues and opportunities to extend information through seminars, workshops, field days, internet resources, and publications, both producer-oriented and peer-reviewed.

The advisor will collaborate with other Cooperative Extension Advisors, Specialists, and clientele to conduct applied research that facilitates the broad implementation of integrated weed management programs across diverse agricultural and grazed landscapes. The advisor's research program will utilize a variety of cultural and mechanical controls, along with emerging technologies, to reduce reliance on herbicides as the sole control tool while stewarding the natural resources that are integral to the sustained health of agricultural and rangeland production systems.

In addition to collaborating with UC colleagues, the advisor will work with external networks, including, but not limited to, the Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Weed Management Areas, the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, the Napa County Regional Parks and Open Space District, the Napa Land Trust, the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, and private industry.

Counties of Responsibility. This position will serve Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties.

Position description

The School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for up to three new full-time Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars to start as soon as July 2026. The exact start date is negotiable. These positions are available for two years, and are non-renewable. J-1 visa sponsorship is available for this position.

These postdoctoral positions are for academics in the early stages of their career who demonstrate exceptional potential as a scholar and researcher. Applicants should either have completed a doctoral degree, or be able to convincingly demonstrate that they will complete the degree before they intend to start this postdoctoral position (e.g. by documenting a scheduled viva/final defense).

We are seeking applicants with active research plans in any of the following areas:

BPS 1) We seek applicants pursuing a research agenda at the intersection of computer science and applied economics, with interdisciplinary training and interests in both topics. The successful applicant will work on projects that address pressing policy issues, using a mix of quantitative and computational methods (e.g., econometrics, data science, AI/ML). Examples of active projects include, but are not limited to, developing theory and methods for robust and equitable decision making in social settings; the use of machine learning and digital data to guide resource allocation and related policies in low-income countries; and creating and validating new techniques for monitoring living standards and well-being in high-stakes policy environments. This position will be supervised by Joshua Blumenstock.

BPS 2) We seek applicants with interdisciplinary training and interests pursuing a research agenda at the intersection of information science, computational social science, and public-interest research. The successful applicant will work on projects that examine how sociotechnical information systems shape high-stakes decision-making across digital and institutional contexts to address pressing issues in information access, trustworthiness, and credibility, using a mix of computational, quantitative, and qualitative methods (e.g., natural language processing, digital trace data, surveys, and interviews). Examples of active projects include, but are not limited to, studying online communities as informal information infrastructures; analyzing how search engines and digital platforms structure the visibility and credibility of information; developing methods to monitor and contextualize misinformation and uncertainty in sensitive or politicized domains; and advancing conceptual frameworks for understanding information ecosystems as structural determinants of equity, autonomy, and well-being, including but not limited to health-related contexts. This position will be supervised by Coye Cheshire.

BPS 3) We seek applicants with active research plans in climate and sustainability informatics, leveraging information and/or information tools to empower individuals, communities, and organizations in tackling the challenges of climate change and biodiversity conservation. We welcome applicants with strong backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: remote sensing, ML, NLP, HCI, participatory design, design research, biosensory computing. The successful applicant will become a core member of the IceBerk Lab ( ), and be supervised by John Chuang, with possible co-supervision by another IceBerk faculty member where appropriate.

BPS 4) The Cultural Analytics group seeks postdoc applicants to conduct data-driven research across archival heritage and born-digital media. Current projects include, but are not limited to: (i) the study of narrative, belief and resonance, where the goal is to understand how narrative is mutually constitutive of beliefs, and how narrative resonates in and across communities of belief; (ii) extracting narrative elements from literary works, with a strong focus on complex corpora such as the Icelandic sagas to understand composition and social modeling in late medieval fiction; (iii) further developing the approach of archetyptonics along with the SOCKS project at University of Vermont's Complex Systems Center; and (iv) refining a search engine for popular dance, where the search term is the dancer's sequence of poses, here focusing on Kpop dance. Ideal candidates bridge Computational Humanities/Social Science Computing (ML, Networks, and/or Computer Vision) with a qualitative theoretical background. You will be supervised by Tim Tangherlini (with potential I-School co-supervision), and be associated with the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) and the AI Futures Lab. We welcome applicants with active research plans ready to contribute to a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment.

BPS 5) The goal of this postdoctoral position is to contribute to the development of an empirically-backed theoretical understanding of how people understand and make sense of the combination of graphic and textual information. We seek a scholar with expertise in some combination of information visualization, the psychology of reading and/or diagram interpretation, and cognitive science or neuroscience more generally to investigate human conception at the intersection of language and information visualization. Expertise in conducting and analyzing eye gaze is a requirement of the position. Expertise or interest in multimodal information, both cognitively and in large vision and language models is a plus. The mentor for this position is Professor Marti Hearst.

BPS 6) Seeking postdoc applicants with a passion for and commitment to equity-driven co-design with local marginalized Indigenous communities. A successful applicant will work on projects that weave together Indigenous knowledge, experiences, and values that address public-facing outcomes, such as informal science education programs and exhibits at local museums and cultural centers. The applicant will help develop theory and methods for world-building equity that integrate marginalized communities' cultural and social struggles. We are seeking applicants with the following attributes: strong background in co-design with marginalized communities, design research, qualitative methods, and experience building mixed reality systems. Knowledge of Indigenous research methods is a plus. This position will be supervised by Kimiko Ryokai.

The Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholar program is designed to allow exceptionally promising young researchers the time to develop their own research while collaborating with leading established faculty. It is designed to accelerate careers, and to maximize the ability of Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars to build independent research trajectories. To accomplish this, a portion (30-40%) of each post-doc's time will be reserved for their own independent research and publication efforts, including publishing results from their dissertation.

Additionally, all Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars will work with a mentor or mentors on research projects in the areas listed above (60-70%), all of which are either already active or will be at the time of the start of the post-doc. All have significant publication opportunities planned.

These postdoctoral positions are research-focused and do not include teaching. However, all post-docs will be given opportunities for guest lecturing and will be expected to give public talks about their research. Post-docs will also contribute to planning and hosting public talks for others, and will be expected to be active participants in I School academic events such as research talks.

Each postdoctoral scholar will have access to up to $5,000 annually for research expenses and travel to professional conferences and research opportunities. A laptop computer will also be provided for the duration of the post-doc.

For all of the above positions, we only seek candidates with excellent research and leadership abilities and a commitment to contributing to the UC Berkeley I School and the field of information more broadly while accelerating their career.

The Berkeley School of Information (I School) is a global bellwether in a world awash in information and data, boldly leading the way with education and fundamental research that translates into new knowledge, practices, policies, and solutions.
