[AgMIP] 3 year Postdoc opportunity in Dams and Food Security at University of Manchester, UK

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

Dear colleagues,

We currently have an opening for a postdoctoral research associate to join my group at the University of Manchester as part of the FutureDams research centre led by the University of Manchester (http://www.futuredams.org<http://www.futuredams.org/>).

The selected candidate will use remote sensing, field datasets, and crop models to evaluate impacts of past dam developments on agricultural productivity and livelihoods. In addition, they will also work jointly with other physical and social scientists to design and assess solutions for how new dam developments can be designed, operated, and managed to balance agricultural water demands with those of hydropower, cities, and freshwater ecosystems.

The position is for an initial period of 36 months, and will focus on three selected case studies in Africa (Volta and Nile basins) and SE Asia (Salween basin in Myanmar). Further details about the position and how to apply can be found here: https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=15288.



I would really appreciate if you could circulate this vacancy with any potential candidates that you might have within your network. For informal discussions about the position, candidates can contact me via email (timothy.foster at manchester.ac.uk<mailto:timothy.foster at manchester.ac.uk>). The deadline for applications is 3 June 2018, with an anticipated start date of summer 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter.



Best regards,

Tim Foster
