The project operates primarily in Southeast Asia and East Africa, and is looking to expand in the coming years. In East Africa, the major activity of the project is “Improved land management on the Lake Victoria Basin”, in collaboration with the Kenyan Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development with financing from the Swedish International Development Agency. In SE Asia, current research in Thailand and Indonesia is focused on soil and water conservation functions of vegetation in the landscape, and is funded by several donors.

· Conduct cutting-edge research that contributes to interdisciplinary analyses of watershed function and changes in these functions, in relation to land-use changes in selected wetlands, riverine areas and forest margins
· Lead the efforts of the Ecosystem Processes and Management programme in the Lake Victoria basin project
The Successful Candidate will:
· have a PhD degree or equivalent with specialisation in hydrology, watershed management, forestry, or another relevant field.

The contract is for continuing appointment up to 10 years, subject to a 1-year probation period, annual assessment of performance, continued relevance of the position and availability of resources. The duty station will either be at ICRAF headquarters in Nairobi or in Kisumu in western Kenya. Applicants are invited to send a detailed curriculum vita and the names and addresses of three referees (including telephone, fax numbers and email addresses).
