Doctoral Fellow (Targeting & Impact Assessment Specialist) WorldFish Center

The WorldFish Center, a CGIAR Consortium Research Center, is an international, nonprofit research organization. CGIAR is a global research partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for sustainable development. CGIAR research is dedicated to reducing rural poverty, increasing food security, improving human health and nutrition, and ensuring more sustainable management of natural resources. It is carried out by the 15 centers who are members of the CGIAR Consortium in close collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations, including national and regional research institutes, civil society organizations, academia, and the private sector.

The WorldFish Center is committed to meeting two key development challenges: 1) improving the livelihoods of those who are especially poor and vulnerable in places where fisheries and aquaculture can make a difference and 2) achieving large scale, environmentally sustainable, increases in supply and access to fish at affordable prices for poor consumers in developing countries.
A unique opportunity has arisen for gifted individuals to contribute to the mission of the Center.

This is a research position in which the results of your work have the opportunity for rapid impact in guiding the establishment and implementation of “Harnessing the development potential of Aquatic Agricultural Systems”, a major new research for development program of the CGIAR.
The Research Program
The Consortium of CGIAR Centers is launching its new portfolio of research programs. WorldFish is the lead center for the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Aquatic Agricultural Systems. The central hypothesis driving the approach of the CRP is that the CGIAR can have greater impact on AAS by moving beyond the linear production model that has dominated much agricultural research and embracing a more integrated, innovative view of how to achieve development in agricultural systems.
We will do this through an action research and partnership-driven approach to development that moves far beyond the view of development as a purely technical process, as well as the persistent views of development as charity. In its first five year phase, the program is targeted to specific aquatic agriculture systems in Bangladesh, Cambodia, The Philippines, The Solomon Islands and Zambia.
