Position Overview:
The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Nutrient Management and Forage Systems Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Merced Counties.
The Nutrient Management and Forage Systems Advisor will implement an innovative multi-county extension education and applied research program focused on production issues for forage crops in California's Northern San Joaquin Valley. The emphasis will be on nutrient management in cropping systems linked to animal agriculture and fertilizer use, as well as on irrigation management and water quality issues. Expected impacts are optimized agronomic practices that maximize profitability while improving water and nutrient use efficiency, protecting water and air resources, and building climate resilience through identification and promotion of best agricultural practices.

Cooperative Extension Area Integrated Pest Management Advisor: Commensal Rodents and Urban Wildlife Serving Santa Clara County and the San Francisco Bay Area (25-27)
University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources
Final date: Friday, Jun 26, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
Position Overview:
The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Integrated Pest Management Advisor: Commensal Rodents and Urban Wildlife, serving Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Mateo/San Francisco Counties at the Assistant rank. The Advisor will develop an innovative multi-county applied research and extension education program that supports integrated management of commensal rodents and urban wildlife in the five-county area.
Position Details:
Roof rats, Rattus rats, have increased in range in recent years and are considered major pests in most of California's communities. Norway (or sewer) rats, Rattus norvegicus, are also very common, especially in inner cities with aging infrastructure and large communities of unhoused residents. Mice, including the house mouse, Mus musculus, and several native Peromyscus deer mice species (known to vector hantavirus), are also very common within California's dwellings and other structures. At the same time, formerly common tools for management have become more restricted. Urban uses of anticoagulant rodenticides have recently been restricted or removed (AB 1322, AB1788, AB2552) in California due to legitimate concerns about secondary poisoning of wildlife, disruptions to local food webs, and acute hazards to people and pets. There is a huge and growing need for the development of alternative strategies and evidence-based evaluation of best practices.
Qualifications and Skills Required
Education: A minimum of a master's degree in wildlife management, pest management, applied vertebrate ecology, or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment.
Key Qualifications:
The ability to address sensitive human-wildlife conflict situations both orally and in writing, as well as public policy conflict resolution, and the human dimensions of wildlife management
- Experience in wildlife management involving rodents or other animals that cause human-wildlife conflicts
- Experience in conducting applied, impact-oriented research on topics relevant to this position.
