03-09-2020

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, known by its Spanish acronym, CIMMYT®, is a not-for-profit agricultural research for development organization with partners in over 100 countries. 

CIMMYT is seeking an experienced and result-oriented professional for the position Post Doctoral Fellow – Mechanization, to work in the Sustainable Intensification Program.

The position will be based in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Specific duties

  • Work closely with CIMMYT staff and assume the day-to-day management of research programs focused on appropriate-scale mechanization.
  • Oversee engineering and site-specific adaptation work with national partners in regional programs.
  • Adapt machinery options to the circumstances of small-scale, resource-constrained farmers.
  • Provide practical training to local researchers, extension agents, service providers, artisans and mechanics on appropriate-scale mechanization as wanted and needed by different project objectives.
  • Coordinate the establishment of networks of mechanization demonstration trials.
  • Collect and analyze monitoring data as per project requirements.
  • Maintain data records, enter data into electronic data bases, and maintain data archiving and back-up systems.
  • Assist machinery users in the different projects with trouble shooting of innovative equipment.
  • Other duties

Requirements

  • PhD in Agriculture Engineering or closely related field or a MSc. with at least 5-10 years of demonstrated hands-on practical experience.
  • Important selection criteria will be mechanization and engineering experience.
  • Be familiar with user-centred participatory design.
  • Experience with on-farm research with focus on animal traction and small farm mechanization (2-wheel tractors drawn).
  • Experience with programs on sustainable land management are an advantage.
  • Experience translating research results to extension and policy bulletins and training materials.
  • Basic supervisory and teaching skills with demonstrated experience.
  • Other requirements.

Benefits

The position is for an initial fixed-term for two (2) years, after which further employment is subject to performance and the continued availability of funds.
