Fixed Term Contract for 27 months

You will support the co-development, testing and implementation of equitable, local ‘nature based solutions’ (NbS) to control land degradation and enhance climate resilience in east African agropastoralist and farming communities.

You should also demonstrate knowledge of recent research in natural resources resilience/ susceptibility in the light of climate change.
You will have experience of working with farmers and other rural stakeholders, ideally using participatory methods and collection of field data, applying both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will have worked in large, multidisciplinary research teams. You will have experience in training delivery and the preparation of high-quality technical reports and research outputs. With excellent project and time management skills, you will ensure that milestones and deliverables are achieved to time and to high quality.
