Job Description

This position provides leadership for the Center for Agroforestry’s Technical Assistance (TA) Branch, with primary responsibility for managing technical assistance staff and overseeing the delivery of agroforestry planning and design services. The role ensures that all technical assistance activities—including review of USDA grant supported producer approval documentation and producer site plans—are conducted in compliance with applicable USDA requirements and program-specific guidelines.

From 2026 through 2029, the Technical Assistance Branch will support agroforestry planning and design associated with an estimated $8 million in incentive payments to producers across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The position will coordinate with key partners in these states to support producer recruitment and program implementation and will provide or oversee direct technical assistance to approximately 20 additional landowners per year across the four-state region.

Technical assistance activities are currently supported through the USDA Advancing Markets for Producers: Expanding Agroforestry Project (2026–2029), which fully funds this position for the duration of the grant period. In addition to grant implementation, this role is expected to advance partnerships and strategies that sustain and expand the Center’s technical assistance capacity beyond the project term, with a particular emphasis on expanding capacity for professional agroforestry technical assistance across Missouri.

As part of these responsibilities, the position will contribute to the Center for Agroforestry’s strategic priority to develop credentialing pathways for professional agroforesters. Participation is expected in the Certified Agroforestry Professional Program, as well as in the Technical Assistance and Training Working Group, to support national agroforestry TA efforts modeled after our pilot certification program, and to establish training standards and ensure program quality.

The role requires travel for meetings, conferences, partner engagement, and limited producer site visits across the four-state region. The primary work location is the University of Missouri–Columbia campus.
