Subject: Please forward: Three new research for development positions with CIMMYT in Bangladesh for a new project on efficient surface water irrigation and scale-appropriate mechanization for sustainable intensification.

Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached three exciting new job postings with CIMMYT for a new research for development project in Bangladesh - we are looking for excellent new team members to join us in our efforts here. I would appreciate if you could forward them to other colleagues and post them where they might be widely circulated. Apologies for any cross posting in my sending you this message. More detail about the positions can be found below, along with PDFs of the different jobs.

We are seeking  experienced and resourceful candidates for three positions:

  • Irrigation and Agronomy Scientist
  • GIS and Remote Sensing Scientist
  •  Agricultural Mechanization Scientist 

 
The successful applicant will join a new USAID funded agricultural R4D project focused on efficient surface water irrigation, scale-appropriate mechanization, and conservation agriculture, to sustainably intensify cropping systems in Southern Bangladesh. The five-year, > $12 million project activities are being implemented in collaboration with International Development Enterprises (iDE), and will integrate and build upon synergies created with the already operational Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) in Bangladesh project.

The successful applicant will also join the multi-institutional and interdisciplinary team that coordinates the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) in Bangladesh. CSISA is a collaborative R4D program launched in 2010 with funding from USAID. It combines the strengths CIMMYT, IRRI, and WorldFish in collaboration with public and private sector partners. The CSISA Mechanization and Irrigation project (CSISA-M.I.) represents new and distinct project activities within CSISA. CSISA-M.I. will intensify dry season cropping in the impoverished regions of Southern Bangladesh by facilitating broad access to low-cost and efficient surface water irrigation combined with innovative agronomy, and by researching, perfecting, extending and commercializing scale-appropriate agricultural machineries and associated services at scale.

The position will be based in Dhaka, Bangladesh and will require very frequent and extensive travel between project field sites, primarily districts of Jessore, Khulna, and Barisal.

If you or your colleagues have any questions regarding these positions, please feel free to contact me.

Regards,

Tim
