Details of the project can be found at www.ag.auburn.edu/~bailelc/AFRI.proposal.pdf.

The successful candidate will be responsible for writing quarterly reports and assisting the Principle Investigator in preparation of other required reports and administrative details.
Qualifications: The minimum qualification is an earned doctorate in forestry or a social science discipline (including anthropology, sociology, rural sociology, geography, economics, applied or agricultural economics, landscape architecture, or forestry with an emphasis on forest management or ecology). Demonstrated ability to work effectively as a member of an interdisciplinary team, and the ability to provide day-to-day operational direction for this team is required. Additionally, strong skills in written and verbal communication in English; strong quantitative and qualitative research skills; a valid driver's license is also required. The candidate selected for the position must be able to meet eligibility requirements for work in the United States by the appointment date and continue working legally for the proposed term of the appointment.
