What is the Kohl Centre?

The Kohl Centre provides students with an opportunity to solidify their knowledge and expand their skillset by engaging clients from around the state, building a professional network, and helping clients analyze and evaluate alternatives – all while earning degree credit. 

The Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech invites applications for the Kohl Centre Chair. This Chair will be a full-time academic year tenured position at the rank of Professor. The successful candidate will have an established record of achievement and leadership in agribusiness and/or agricultural and applied economics with an emphasis on economic decision-making using modern quantitative tools.

Details and apply.
