Essential Job Duties
The Department of Agricultural & Resource Economics at North Carolina State University is seeking a non-tenure track Extension Assistant Professor to take a lead role in the Department's farm management extension outreach and classroom education programs.

As such, the schools are a key educational channel for extension training on agricultural and rural taxation.
This position is a non-tenure track position with responsibilities in extension (70%) and teaching (30%) over a recurring 9-month term. The individual in this position will produce education programming through North Carolina Cooperative Extension (ces.ncsu.edu) based on their expertise in farm Management and tax issues.

This individual will represent NC State University on the National Farm Income Tax Extension Committee.
This individual will teach 2 courses per year in the NC State University undergraduate Agribusiness Management program and/or the Agricultural Institute. Teaching responsibilities will be assigned in accordance with the individual's expertise and are expected to be closely aligned with the cooperative extension program expectations (e.g. farm and agriBusiness Management, Agricultural Taxation). The individual will also contribute to undergraduate student advising. Although this position does not have a research appointment, Extension Assistant Professors are still expected to author or co-author peer reviewed publications in journals related to their areas of expertise.
