The American Samoa Community College, a U.S. Land Grant institution, invites applications for a full-time Forestry Researcher. The position is a two-year contract, renewable upon satisfactory performance, and housed within the College’s Division of Agriculture, Community and Natural Resources. Responsibilities include both research and extension (non-formal education), as well as support for the College’s instructional programs.
The American Samoa Community College holds as its central theme “Saili le Atamai” or “Seek Knowledge.” The College’s programs remain grounded in the core values of student centeredness, respect for diversity, collaboration and teamwork, respect for tradition and culture, and lifelong learning, while meeting the challenges of the 21st Century. The College is active in developing the educational, social, cultural, political, economic, technological, and environmental well-being of American Samoa and the Pacific.
The Forestry Research program aims to increase understanding of American Samoa’s forest ecosystems in support of sound, stakeholder-responsive stewardship to ensure these natural treasures are preserved for future generations. The seven islands of American Samoa remain mostly forested, with inroads for agriculture and other development limited in part by the steep, rugged terrain. Major threats to the native forests include spreading invasive exotic tree species and more recently, pressure to move agriculture, as well as roads and other infrastructure, upslope to mitigate against climate-change induced sea level rise. Traditional agroforestry production systems remain key to enhancing food security, and trees are an abundant and essential part of the village environment as well as public spaces, such as parks and school grounds.
