Post Doctoral Fellow - Resource Economist, Hyderabad, India

Title	:	Post Doctoral Fellow - Resource Economist
Description	:	The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is looking for a young outstanding economist to work as a postdoctoral fellow to study the potential returns on investment in research and development in the areas of natural resource management, health and ecosystem services. Working with a team of junior and senior scientists, the incumbent will develop a quantitative understanding of the benefits and costs of investments in research (and the results of research), allowing potential investors to see the ‘bang for the buck’. The research areas are different business models for ‘resource recovery and reuse’ from organic waste and wastewater, and their economic, environmental, health and social implications in low-income countries. The incumbent will use a variety of economic tools and methods along with the assessment of ‘extrapolation domains’ to identify, geographically or within the system or economic boundaries, the out-scaling potential of certain reuse business models or other innovations. The position will allow the incumbent exceptional opportunities for growth. The selected candidate will be based at IWMI’s office at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hyderabad, India. The incumbent will report to the Leader of IWMI’s research theme on Water Quality, Health and Environment.
