### Recruitment
I am recruiting a Master's student with interests in agri-environmental stewardship, geospatial technology, and science-policy interfaces. The student will complete a social science research project on ag data governance and use, conducting interviews with and surveying stakeholders including crop advisors, government agency staff, and representatives of farmers groups. The thesis will be developed alongside collaborators who are creating a soil carbon accounting and profit mapping tool (see Capmourteres et al. 2018) that will require assessing existing/best practices for farm-level data management and how users might actually employ such information in their decision-making. The research is funded by the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph via the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.

For a full description of the position, see [here](https://github.com/ericnost/ericnost.github.io/assets/img/digitalagricultureatGuelph-recruitment.pdf) Prospective applicants should contact me via email and forward an unofficial transcript, resume or CV, and a statement outlining their interests as they relate to the project description above.

### Digital governance and infrastructure
Environmental governance actors - states, corporations, conservationist groups, farmers, and so on - struggle to get the data they want. There's a lot out of it there - and more every day - but not all of it is relevant nor is there the time or money to make sense of it. In other words, governing nature means governing data, raising questions of who collects data, who manages it, who contributes to databases and who has access, and who pays. These questions often crystallize in attempts to "infrastructure" data. What are the platforms - environmental information systems, models, webmaps, databases, etc. - enabling environmental governance? What are the controversies around these platforms? Who wins and who loses?
