About the role

The University of Missouri-Columbia invites applications for the Director of Jefferson Farm & Gardens and Agricultural Business Specialist role. Lead a premier public education site, supervise farm operations, and teach agricultural business, food systems, and entrepreneurship using the farm as a living classroom. Expect 12-month, ranked non-tenure appointment with 25% admin, 65% teaching, and 10% service, with travel across Missouri and occasional after-hours work to meet program needs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
