India Post Doctorate Positions in Understanding Innovation Capacity in Relation to Livestock fodder in Developing Countries
Two Post doctorate positions: Understanding innovation capacity in relation to livestock fodder in developing countries (m/f) UNU-MERIT
The International Livestock Research Institute and UNU-MERIT are jointly implementing a project to explore ways of strengthening innovation capacity in order to address the need to upgrade fodder use practices in different livestock production systems in India and Nigeria.
This is being conducted within the overall goal of identifying ways of better using livestock related knowledge to achieve social and economic development goals in sustainable ways in the poorest developing countries. This is a three year project funded by the UK’s Department for International Development and it seeks to appoint 2 post-doctoral positions. The persons appointed will be required to have a Ph.D. in either natural or social sciences, but with some understanding of systems perspectives on innovation. Experience of agriculture, particularly livestock and developing countries would be an advantage. Candidates from the South Asian and West African regions are strongly encouraged to apply., but candidates from all regions are welcome to apply. The project offers the unique opportunity of exploring critical operational, policy and theoretical questions concerning ways of operationalising the innovation systems concept in agriculture and rural development interventions in developing countries. This is at the cutting edge of the emerging field of innovation studies in development. The project provides successful candidates with an excellent opportunity to conduct field based research and there will be ample opportunities to publish and present this work at international conferences.
Further details may be obtained from Dr Peter Bezkorowajnyj, ILRI c/o ICRISAT, Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India p.bezkorowajnyj@cgiar.org or Dr Andy Hall, UNU-MERIT, Hyderabad, India, hall@merit.unu.edu.
