    In addition, you will contribute to the promotion and dissemination of the project and its outputs across the College and in external conference presentations. You will also contribute to project management, partner coordination and to keep accurate and up-to-date records of activities relating to the project. This will involve organising workshops, seminars, expert stakeholder engagement, among other meetings associated with the project. You will assist in the formulation, preparation, and submission of research funding applications in areas related to the project, and support with teaching and project supervision of MSc students.

    • Experience of identification, collection, preparation, and analysis of environmental data.
    • Experience of working on collaborative projects, managing workshops, hosting meetings etc.
    • Have a broad grasp of agriculture-environment-bioeconomy issues affecting LMIC on food, nutrition, water, and waste management nexus.
    • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to write clearly and succinctly for publication.
