Applications are being accepted through March 30, 2020, from individuals who wish to be considered for the Directorship for the UC ANR California Organic Institute. This opportunity will provide a dedicated source of funds (income from the endowment) to support scholarly activities and outreach focused on improvement of California organic agriculture production.

Through a funding partnership between the Clif Bar & Company and the UC Presidential Endowment program, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources has established a $1 million Directorship for the UC ANR California Organic Institute.

The Directorship will be awarded by UC ANR to a distinguished UC Cooperative Extension specialist or advisor currently working in the area of organic production in California.

Through a competitive selection process, a Director will be selected to hold an initial seven-year term.

Application and selection details, including timeline and submission guidelines, are available at http://ucanr.edu/sites/StrategicInitiatives/files/318017.pdf.

For any questions, please contact Mark Bell, Vice Provost Strategic Initiatives & Statewide Programs, at mozbell@ucanr.edu.

We look forward to this exciting new addition to our portfolio.

Associate Vice President
