I recently posted a job announcement on the network for a
position here at the Henry A. Wallace Institute for Alternative
Agriculture. Unfortunately, I am still learning my way around
the electronic super highway and my message was garbled. So,
here is the announcement again! If there are any problems please
send a message, or call (301) 441-8777.
Thanks.
Tracy Irwin Hewitt
Policy Analyst
Henry A. Wallace Institute for Alternative Agriculture
Postdoctoral Research Associate. The Institute seeks an
analytically-minded individual with a Ph.D. in agricultural
economics, rural sociology, political science, or policy analysis
for a 1-2 year research position with its Policy Studies Program.
The Research Associate will be asked to make major, independent
contributions to a 2-year study of the relationship between
domestic agricultural industrialization and sustainability. He
or she will also be expected to contribute to the program's
overall mandate to analyze policy options for or affecting
alternative agriculture. The ideal candidate will have practical
experience in policy analysis or evaluation, good familiarity
with the American agriculture sector and the farm, resource, and
environmental policies that influence it, possess exceptional
writing skills, and have demonstrated an ability to conceptualize
and pursue research problems independently and creatively. The
temporary position is located at the Institute's offices in
Greenbelt, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. Salary is competitive
and commensurate with experience.
Contingent upon the outcome of current granting processes, the
Institute may have a temporary or permanent position opening for
an additional analyst in coming months. We thus also invite job
inquires from experienced (2 or more years postgraduate
experience) recipients of the M.S. or Ph.D. in agricultural
economics or a related social science who have good knowledge and
understanding of domestic agricultural issues and have
independently conducted and published the results of policy
analyses/evaluations.
Individuals meeting the qualifications for either the
postdoctoral position or the possible, additional position should
send a letter of interest, a complete resume, and the names,
titles, phone numbers, and addresses of three references by no
later than December 31, 1994, to: Dr Katherine Reichelderfer
Smith, Director, Policy Studies Program, Henry A. Wallace
Institute for Alternative Agriculture, Suite 117, 9200 Edmonston
RD., Greenbelt, MD 20770-1551.
