--- PROSE FIELDS ---

ROLE SUMMARY:
Agricultural Sciences Teachers, Postsecondary are university-level educators who teach courses in agricultural fields including agronomy, dairy sciences, fisheries management, horticultural sciences, and soil conservation. They combine classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory supervision and research activities to prepare students for careers in food production, environmental stewardship, and agricultural technology. These professors typically hold doctoral degrees and balance teaching responsibilities with ongoing research in their specialized agricultural domains.

DAY IN THE LIFE:
Agricultural Sciences Teachers prepare and deliver lectures on topics such as crop production and plant genetics while supervising laboratory sessions and coordinating field work operations. They evaluate student assignments and maintain regular office hours for academic advising, while also facilitating classroom discussions and developing course materials including syllabi and handouts. A significant portion of their time involves supervising undergraduate and graduate research projects, staying current with developments in agricultural science through professional literature, and collaborating with colleagues on teaching and research initiatives. They also plan and revise curricula to ensure course content reflects current agricultural practices and emerging technologies in the field.

WHO THRIVES:
Individuals who excel in this role demonstrate high dependability and intellectual curiosity, with strong oral and written communication abilities essential for effective teaching. They possess deep biological knowledge combined with educational expertise, enabling them to translate complex agricultural concepts for diverse student audiences. The social and investigative RIASEC profile (S:6.24, I:5.36) indicates success requires both genuine care for student development and analytical thinking for research pursuits. Those who thrive exhibit active learning capabilities and critical thinking skills, allowing them to stay current with rapidly evolving agricultural technologies while maintaining the patience and coordination needed for laboratory supervision and student mentorship.

CAREER ENTRY:
Entry into this profession requires extensive educational preparation, with 55.3% holding doctoral degrees and 27.0% completing post-doctoral training according to the education distribution data. Candidates typically complete undergraduate studies in agricultural sciences or related biological fields, followed by graduate research in specialized areas such as agronomy, soil conservation, or horticultural sciences. The Job Zone 5 classification indicates extensive preparation is needed, often including teaching assistantships, research experience, and publication in peer-reviewed agricultural journals. Many positions also value practical agricultural experience or industry connections to enhance real-world application of academic content.

CAREER TRAJECTORY:
Agricultural Sciences Teachers can advance to department chairpersons, deans of agricultural colleges, or directors of agricultural research centers, leveraging their expertise in both education and specialized agricultural knowledge. Many develop consulting relationships with agricultural industries, government agencies, or international development organizations focused on food security and sustainable farming practices. The research component of their role can lead to recognition as leading experts in specialized fields, opening opportunities for policy advisory roles or leadership positions in agricultural professional associations. Some transition into agricultural extension services or private sector roles in agricultural technology companies where their combination of teaching skills and technical expertise proves valuable.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
The agricultural sciences teaching market employs 8,920 professionals with a median annual salary of $98,700 according to BLS OEWS May 2025 data, ranging from $50,870 at the 10th percentile to $163,150 at the 90th percentile. Geographic wage variation is significant, with Michigan offering the highest compensation at $136,130 compared to Ohio's $46,160, representing a 2.95x ratio difference. Employment is concentrated almost entirely in educational services (8,790 positions), reflecting the specialized nature of this academic role. The field benefits from growing emphasis on sustainable agriculture and food security, though positions remain limited by the number of universities offering agricultural programs. Demand correlates with agricultural industry health and federal funding for land-grant university research programs.

AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
This role demonstrates high resistance to automation due to the complex interpersonal and creative elements inherent in teaching and research supervision. The core work activities of training and teaching others, establishing interpersonal relationships, and interpreting information for students require human judgment, empathy, and adaptive communication that current AI cannot replicate. While technology tools like Microsoft Office suite and specialized agricultural software may enhance productivity in course preparation and data analysis, the fundamental activities of laboratory supervision, student mentoring, and facilitating classroom discussions remain inherently human-centered and unlikely to be automated in the foreseeable future.
