Postdoctoral Fellow: regional-scale abiotic stress in rice production in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to contribute to work on the analysis of regional-scale abiotic stress in rice production in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The incumbent will use remote sensing and/or simulation modeling tools to characterize spatial and temporal patterns of the effect of drought stress and other abiotic stresses on rice production. This information should be helpful to refine breeding, selection, and dissemination of abiotic stress-tolerant rice varieties.
Applicants must have a PhD in crop simulation, climatology, hydrology, physical geography, agricultural sciences, or a related field. It is desirable that candidates have a good understanding of agricultural production systems and advanced skills in one or more of the following areas: ecological modeling, computer programming, statistics, GIS, and remote sensing. Candidates should also have a strong record of publications in international peer-reviewed journals, be fluent in English, and have good communication skills.
Applicants should send via email a comprehensive curriculum vitae and names and email addresses of three referees to:
