Title of job: Post-doc researcher position available in Crop Modelling in Africa at ICTP/IAEA/UNESCO.

 

Start date: To start as soon as possible.

 

Type of contract: Net salary between 2000 and 2500 Euros per month (tax-free, but no pension scheme included).

 

Location: ICTP Triestre, Italy.

 

Profile required: The research involves crop modelling in Africa using the GLAM model in collaboration with Dr. Challinor (Leeds). Experience in developing, running and using output from atmospheric forecast models and/or dynamic crop models is an advantage, but most important is a strong physical sciences background and an equally strong enthusiasm to work on a project collaborating with colleagues in Africa (travel to Africa is expected during the project).
