Subject: Recruitment for Agricultural Extension Agent positions at UH CTAHR

 

Each land grant university has a federally mandated Cooperative Extension Service (CES) associated with its institution to disseminate research-based information to the public at large. The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) serves as the land grant college of the University of Hawai‘i (UH).

 

CTAHR is committed to fulfilling the Land Grant University’s purpose of instruction, scientific research, and outreach. CTAHR utilizes the human resources of statewide extension agents and various forms of traditional and distance education technologies to transfer research and technology discoveries that improve farmers’ ability to deal with the many facets of crop and pest management.

 

County extension agents are not typically located on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus. They are based in county offices in the communities they serve. Extension agents transfer research based information, knowledge, and skills that help agricultural producers correctly choose and utilize specific technology and practices best suited to meet their diverse educational needs. This information enables agricultural producers to make informed decisions.

 

CTAHR is now advertising for three tenure-track positions (executive decision by Dean Gallo) and four are temporary positions (funded by the 2015 Hawaii State Legislature).  The positions posted are as follows:

 

Tenure-track positions:

• 0084070, Asst Extension Agent, edible crop industries, Wahiawa, Hawaii.
• 0082485, Asst Extension Agent, edible crop industries and food safety and security, Hilo, Hawaii.
• 0082639, Asst Extension Agent, livestock, 4-H Youth livestock programs, Kahului, Hawaii.

 

Temporary positions:

• 0085422T, Junior or Asst Extension Agent, invasive species with emphasis on but not limited to, insects and diseases in support of edible crop and ornamental industries, Lihue, Hawaii.
• 0086764T, Junior or Asst Extension Agent, farm food safety and sustainable agriculture in support of edible crop industries, Manoa Campus.
• 0086220T, Junior or Asst Extension Agent, sustainable agriculture, organic and natural farming involving soil health and soil fertility and food farm safety in support of edible crop industries, Kahului, Hawaii.
• 0085545T, Junior or Asst Extension Agent, sustainable agriculture and organic farming including soil health and soil fertility in support of edible crop industries, educational support for urban gardeners and homeowners, Hilo, Hawaii.

These positions will help us meet our federal mandate in offering the public noncredit, tax-supported educational programs and information based on the results of university research. We appreciate your patience as we search for additional support of our edible crop industries throughout the state.  Lastly, thank you to everyone who submitted testimony for the bills (SB314/HB 850) that went through the legislature last session. It really made a difference.

 

Aloha, jari
