| ILRI Vacancy: Spatial Analyst (Closing 12 March 2014) Posted: 12 Feb 2014 03:33 AM PST ILRI seeks to recruit a spatial analyst to contribute to research within its Livestock Systems and Environment (LSE) Program. The LSE program contributes to the CGIAR Research Programs on Dryland Systems (DS), Humidtropics (HT), Livestock and Fish (L&F), Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE), and Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). The LSE program applies an integrated systems approach to analyze the interactions between livestock rearing, livelihoods, food security and the environment at a range of scales and across various agro-ecological zones. The research aims to reveal synergies and trade-offs between livestock production, cropping and agroforestry production, natural resource use and environmental impacts. Current research includes work on vulnerability and adaptation to climate change, opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production, livestock interactions with water and nutrient cycles, and dynamic modeling of farming systems. A cornerstone of the program's work is combining empirical and modeling approaches with qualitative methods. The LSE program collaborates closely with other scientific and development groups within and outside the CGIAR. The spatial analyst will lead work on defining targets for different livestock value chains in the Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program that ILRI leads; this includes assessing the environmental impacts of different interventions, like productivity improvements and out scaling, and developing analytical methods for appropriately targeting livestock interventions. The researcher will define development domains using a number of spatial variables such as agro-ecological zones, human and livestock population, livestock system distribution and market access. The analyst will use a similar approach to define vulnerability domains to shocks such as climate change, disease risk, etc. The work will also include a range of characterization exercises on livestock production systems. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) works to enhance the roles livestock play in pathways out of poverty in developing countries. ILRI is a member of the CGIAR Consortium, a global research partnership of 15 centres working with many partners for a food-secure future. ILRI has two main campuses in East Africa and other hubs in East, West and southern Africa and South, Southeast and East Asia. www.ilri.org.
