Leader, Climate Change Research - The World Agroforestry Centre

Closing Date: 30th June

The World Agroforestry Centre seeks to recruit a world-class researcher to lead its Global Research Project (GRP) on Climate Change.

The objective of the Global Research Project on Climate Change is to improve the stability of farming systems and livelihood strategies of smallholder farmers in the face of current climate variability as well as long-term climate change, through the increased use of trees for intensification, diversification and buffering of farming systems.

The GRP focuses on four areas: vulnerability assessments, impact of climate change on agroforestry systems; adaptation to climate change; and synergies in agroforestry systems between climate change adaptation and mitigation.

The successful candidate will report to the Deputy Director General, and will work with other scientists within and outside of the GRP.
