POSITION SPECIFICS​

The College of Agricultural Sciences seeks an Extension Educator trained in community nutrition/health education and/or food science to join our nationally recognized Penn State Extension Food, Families, and Communities Unit. The position will actively work with Extension program teams to identify important human health and food safety issues, develop educational events and materials to support the learning objectives and utilize evaluations to measure program success. The position will deliver virtual programs statewide and in-person programs in Lebanon County. The position will also supervise part-time staff and volunteers who teach nutrition and food preservation programs on behalf of Extension.

While we seek disciplinary expertise in family and consumer science, especially nutrition education, competitive candidates are expected to have a general understanding of nutrition, diet, and human health issues related to food, food safety, and community education. The successful candidate will need to develop and/or participate in collaborations across multiple disciplines, departments, colleges, and institutions. The individual must work effectively in a team and with diverse populations and audiences. Team members are expected to work closely with university faculty and staff to develop and conduct applied research relevant to the target audiences’ needs.

Success in this educational program will allow Pennsylvanians to have an improved health status, enhanced life skills needed for self-sufficiency, better health, and lower health care and medical costs.

The individual will be located in Lebanon County (Office location: 2120 Cornwall Rd #1, Lebanon, PA 17042).
