We are looking for someone to join the CAI team as the Farm Adaptation Innovator Program Coordinator.  Do you have a list serve for graduate students or alumni with  whom you could share the attached job posting?  It’s close to a full time contract opportunity, so is probably more appropriate for alumni.
