Fellowship in innovation approaches to enhancing rainwater management in crop-livestock systems, Africa
Job Description: The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) seeks to recruit a postdoctoral scientist to conduct research on innovation processes that would enhance rainwater management for livelihood and environment benefits in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia. This position will in particular contribute to action research on the role of existing local, national and regional stakeholders and their networks in the water and natural resource management arena in enhancing rainwater management and, the opportunities to accelerate innovation through establishment of local stakeholder platforms.
The globally networked International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) helps to reduce poverty, hunger and environmental degradation by enhancing animal agriculture in developing countries.
