Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics is seeking to fill a tenure-track position in the area of agricultural financial management. Agricultural financial management is central to the success of commercial farms in Illinois. The landscape of agricultural financial management has changed dramatically in the last decade with an explosion of new credit instruments, risk management tools, and policy changes. The evolving environment for agricultural financial management presents a host of challenges to farmers, bankers and policy-makers. The proposed position would contribute to solutions through an extension and research program addressing crucial agricultural finance and management issues problems, and will be a key component of the Department's farmdoc extension outreach program (http://farmdoc.illinois.edu/).

The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally recognized extension and applied research program in agricultural financial management involving interaction with extension clientele in the commercial agriculture sector, including agricultural finance institutions. The candidate will be expected to be a regular contributor to farmdoc daily (http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/). The position will also contribute to the Department’s undergraduate programs by initially teaching one course per year on agricultural finance, farm management, or other aspects of applied economics.
