The Post-Doctoral Fellow play a key research and enabling role in two applied research projects in Zambia:
The Post-Doctoral Fellow will be specifically responsible for designing and implementing the value chain, gender and markets research, including ensuring effective gender integration and leading the development of high quality science outputs (e.g., briefs, blogposts, and journal articles).
The post holder will be working with the CIM Aquaculture Expert and team members to pilot and scale the gender-inclusive and pro-poor business and entrepreneurship models (IBEMs), set up the innovation platforms, and carry out the project monitoring and evaluation according to the results framework. The role will also manage the day-to-day operations of the project and ensure the links between the Zambia and Malawi components are fluid.
On another project, the Post-Doctoral Fellow will be responsible for effective gender and youth integration throughout the multiple dimensions of the project, including in the innovations in the TEVET skills development and smallholder fish farmer-private sector linkages. This will also involve working closely with the project team and partners and designing and drawing on M&E and research within the project to generate high quality, empirically-based insights and outputs regarding inclusive aquaculture sector development.
Both projects are being carried out in Northern and Luapula Provinces and the Post-Doctoral Fellow will be required to travel to these provinces regularly (monthly) to implement research activities with partners.
