About the position

Even the most ambitious mitigation policies will not prevent climate-related impacts from rising over the course of the century. Appropriate adaptation strategies and risk reduction measures to climate variability and change will therefore be increasingly important. 

With agriculture’s strong dependence on weather, smallholder farmers are especially vulnerable to weather extremes. Future changes in weather patterns and rising temperatures will likely be even more detrimental.

It is therefore necessary to identify current and future vulnerabilities to climate variability and change and develop scientifically sound and robust adaptation strategies in the context of agroforestry systems that mitigate climate impacts. 

It is also necessary to devise the limits of adaptation and identify complementary safeguards and transition pathways that allow for a ‘soft landing’.

The main purpose of the position will be to: 

a) learn from existing community and farmer practices to identify and map current and future vulnerabilities to climate change; b) analyze impacts of development projects and develop robust adaptation strategies and climate smart practices, with special focus on agroforestry systems and derive possible transition pathways; c) identify the limits of adaptation to weather extremes in agroforestry systems and devise opportunities for complementary safeguard systems.

Responsibilities

Assess vulnerabilities of smallholder farmers to current and future climate risks by learning from community and farmer practicesDevelop robust adaptation strategies and climate smart practices with special focus on agroforestry systems and derive possible transition pathwaysIdentify limits of adaptation to different climate shocks and devise opportunities for complementary safeguard systemsDevelop multi-institutional project designs and contribute to fundraising and knowledge disseminationDevelop and disseminate methods for analysing vulnerability and adaptation strategies to climate change within ICRAF and partner organizationsPrepare reports, guidelines and scientific papers.PhD in economics (or similar qualification)Field experience in tropical developing countriesSolid background in resource economics, environmental and ecological economics, environmental policy and development studies, ideally in the context of smallholder farming systemsDemonstrated experience in gathering and analysing quantitative and qualitative socioeconomicExperience in proposal development and fundraisingAbility to communicate effectively with stakeholders, including smallholders, private sector and policy makersGood publication recordExcellent verbal and written English skills. Knowledge of another language commonly used in Africa, Asia or Latin America is an advantageHousehold modelling experience is desirable.Terms of offer
