The Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics (AAEC) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) invites applications for a tenure-track position in agricultural markets, trade, and rural development policy. This is a 9-month, academic-year appointment, with expectations to fund summer activities through external grants or other mechanisms. The specific appointment is 50 percent research and 50 percent Extension.
The successful candidate will maintain a visible, nationally recognized, externally funded applied research and Extension program in agricultural markets, trade, and rural development policy analysis, with a particular focus on distilling and successfully communicating the impacts of proposed policies and market changes to stakeholders across the Commonwealth of Virginia. International engagement and recognition are encouraged and expected as the candidate’s career advances. The successful candidate is expected to collaborate with colleagues in AAEC, the Center for Agricultural Trade, and other departments in CALS to develop effective Extension and applied research programs that integrate market, policy, and trade analysis into existing efforts on local food systems and rural development initiatives. This position will also work closely with Extension agents, specialists, and field staff to develop effective and visible programs. By collaborating with others in the department, CALS, across campus and beyond, the successful candidate will serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary activity, bridging the technical rigor of quantitative analysis with the practical, applied focus of Extension work needed to address the market, trade, and policy impacts confronting rural communities in Virginia. Through dissemination of trade and policy impacts, this position will enhance communication and public policy outreach efforts in CALS that foster economic growth and resilience in our rural communities.
As a priority to develop and foster new partnerships and leverage existing ones across campus and the commonwealth, the candidate is expected to build partnerships with stakeholders (e.g. government, industry, nonprofits, etc.), producer groups, agricultural lenders, supply chain businesses, and others. The position will also enhance communication to raise awareness of CALS engagement in the communities we serve. There is an expectation of excellence in grantsmanship, timely communication of research findings through publication in peer-reviewed journal articles and extension outlets, and mentoring students. This position requires occasional travel for meetings and conferences.
The Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics is a growing unit with approximately 250 undergraduate students, 45 graduate students, and 27 faculty members. The department offers unique opportunities to develop applied research and outreach programs that have meaningful impacts on decision-makers. The department offers undergraduate programs in agribusiness and applied economic management, an online and in-person Master’s program, and a joint Ph.D. with the Department of Economics. The department collaborates closely with other units within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, as well as with various units on campus.
The Department is located in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, which has about 2,600 undergraduate students and 600 graduate students across 10 academic units. The Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and Virginia Cooperative Extension, within the college, deliver research-based information to the Commonwealth of Virginia through county/city extension offices, 4-H educational centers, and Agricultural Research and Extension Centers.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in The Trade Desk
Match your credentials to the TN category
The Trade Desk hires engineers, analysts, and business development professionals. Confirm your degree field maps directly to a listed TN visa category before applying. A computer science degree supports a Systems Analyst or Computer Engineer TN; a business degree typically does not.
Request a detailed offer letter early
The Trade Desk's offer letter must name your specific TN occupational category and describe duties tied to that category. Vague language like 'technology role' gets challenged at the border. Ask the recruiter to specify your classification before the letter is finalized.
Target teams with active programmatic or data roles
The Trade Desk's core business is programmatic advertising technology. Roles in data science, platform engineering, and trading analytics align most cleanly with TN categories. Focus your applications on these functions rather than generalist or support positions with ambiguous degree requirements.
Prepare for port-of-entry review as a Canadian
Canadian citizens apply for TN status directly at a U.S. land border or pre-clearance airport, not through USCIS. Bring your offer letter, degree transcripts, and any professional licenses. CBP officers can approve or deny on the spot, so documentation must be complete.
Search verified TN-eligible roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to find The Trade Desk job listings filtered for TN visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate surfaces roles where employers have confirmed sponsorship willingness, saving you from applying to positions that exclude TN candidates at the offer stage.
Coordinate timing around TN renewal periods
TN status is granted in up to three-year increments with unlimited renewals, but The Trade Desk must file a new petition or you must re-enter before each expiration. Build renewal timelines into your employment conversations so neither side is caught off guard near the end of your status period.
The Trade Desk TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which The Trade Desk roles qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Roles that align with USMCA-listed occupations qualify. At The Trade Desk, this typically includes software engineers, systems analysts, data scientists, and computer engineers, all of which map to the Computer Systems Analyst or Engineer categories. Marketing or account management roles rarely qualify unless the position explicitly requires a degree in a listed TN field.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for The Trade Desk positions?
The TN visa has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and can be obtained the same day at a port of entry. H-1B visa requires an employer to enter the lottery in March, and selection is not guaranteed. For Canadians targeting The Trade Desk, TN is faster and more predictable. Mexican nationals face a 5,500 annual TN allocation, which adds some uncertainty but still avoids the H-1B lottery.
Does The Trade Desk sponsor TN visas for Mexican professionals?
Yes, Mexican nationals can receive TN status for qualifying roles, though the process differs from Canadian applicants. Mexicans must apply through a U.S. consulate in Mexico rather than at the border. The annual allocation for Mexican TN workers is 5,500, so timing and documentation quality both matter. The occupation and degree requirements are identical to those for Canadians.
How do I find The Trade Desk jobs that explicitly support TN visa sponsorship?
Many job listings do not specify TN eligibility even when the employer is open to it. Migrate Mate filters roles by confirmed sponsorship type, including TN, so you can identify The Trade Desk openings where sponsorship has been verified rather than assumed. This reduces the risk of advancing through interviews only to be told TN is not supported.
Can I switch from an existing TN visa to a new one if I change roles at The Trade Desk?
A TN visa is tied to a specific employer and job description. If your role at The Trade Desk changes significantly in title, duties, or occupational category, you need a new TN approval. Canadian citizens can re-enter at the border with an updated offer letter. Mexican nationals must return to a U.S. consulate. Either way, the change should be documented before you begin the new role.
