Scientist - Mechanization and Post-harvest Expert
3 days ago
Climate Change impacts rice production through exacerbated and more frequent climate extremes, rising sea levels and temperatures. Understanding future trends is crucial in order to plan ahead and implement adaptation options to increase the resilience of agricultural systems. Working with various national and international partners in different projects, IRRI develops strategies to mitigate climate change (effects) and to adapt to climate change, e.g., through the development and dissemination of climate-smart technologies in rice production.
The incumbent will develop and lead research for development (R4D) programs on climate-smart mechanization and postharvest technologies/ innovations for rice-based production systems that will contribute to the mitigation of climate change and/or to adaptation to the effects of climate change. The focus of his or her work will be around the following key areas and responsibilities below:
**Roles and Responsibilities**:
- Development of novel climate-smart (mitigation or adaptation) mechanization and postharvest technologies/ innovations in rice-based, rainfed, and irrigated ecologies and value chains in South Asia. This may involve mechanization options to support a shift from transplanting to direct seeding systems and to facilitate diversified cropping, novel residue management practices (e.g., to reduce straw burning), novel usages of residues (e.g., for mushroom production, biochar production), development of novel by-products from rice, interventions further down in the rice value chain such as improved drying (with minimized fossil energy use), etc.;
- Development of dissemination, scaling, and partnership approaches, and/or business models (e.g., linkages with manufacturers, after-sales services of farm machinery) for mechanization and postharvest technologies/ innovations that will lead to impact ‘at scale’, such as improved resilience to climatic change and climatic shocks, and improved food security and reduced poverty among rice value-chain actors (eg farmers, millers);
- Development and (scientific and managerial) leadership of a strong R4D team on climate-smart mechanization and postharvest technologies at ISARC for South Asia;
- Support and strengthen south-south collaboration with key partners in South Asia and Africa, by contributing to the implementation of South-South Mechanization research strategies;
- Resource mobilization to support the above-mentioned R4D program
- Contribute to developing strategic partnerships, knowledge sharing, and capacity development of various stakeholders;
- Nurture and initiate collaboration with NARES partners, private sector and development partners, advanced research institutions (ARI) and policymakers in South Asia and conduct joint research;
- Collaborate with government, donors, rice R&D partners, private enterprises to align with client and donor expectations; Across CGIAR initiatives and other IRRI projects;
- Communicate key messages and project progress with donors, policymakers, and other primary stakeholders;
- Coordinate closely with project partners and build a relationship with other stakeholders to ensure research outputs are transferred effectively;
- Develop new projects together with IRRI colleagues, ARIs, and NARES in South Asia;
- Supervise, and mentor junior staff
- World-class R4D agenda on development and delivery of climate-smart mechanization and postharvest technologies in rice-based ecologies in South Asia;
- Novel climate-smart mechanization and postharvest technologies;
- Effective scaling approaches, business models, and partnerships with public and private sector parties, including leading R&D entities (ARIs) and equipment manufacturers and service providers in the region;
- Articles in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings, technical manuals, and training materials that highlight findings from research activities, showcasing the incumbent’s scientific leadership;
- An effective resource mobilization strategy and a well-funded portfolio of R4D projects;
- A well-functioning and effective R4D team based on principles of mutual trust and respect for gender and inclusion
**Qualifications**:
- Ph.D. in agricultural engineering or related field with minimum 3 years of experience in working on machinery and postharvest practices, including rice value chain
**Skills Required**:
**Mandatory**
- Background on mechanization and postharvest
- Have a mix of practical field skills, quantitative abilities; appreciation of interdisciplinary work, and a core commitment to achieving science-led agricultural development;
- Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills;
- Strong proficiency in written and spoken English
**Preferred**
- Experience with rice; work experience in a developing country environment
**IRRI offers a highly extensive employee benefits package inclusive of globally-covered medical insurance, retirement plan, life and accident insurance and other allowances. Join our tea
