>       CROP PRODUCTION SYSTEMS MODELLER
>       [Code no:IAC-04-Z]
>
>The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics
>(ICRISAT) is a nonprofit, autonomous, scientific research and training
>institute with regional centers and teams in Asia and Africa.  The Institute
>is seeking a scientist to support the Institute's research in India and
>Africa in cropping system simulation modelling.  The Systems Modeller will
>be located at the ICRISAT Asia Center, Patancheru (near Hyderabad), India.
>
>With the support of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural
>Research (ACIAR), ICRISAT is collaborating with the Agricultural Production
>Systems Research Unit (APSRU) in Australia in a joint project on integrative
>systems research.  A central objective is a reliable simulator which will
>aid RD&E on farmers' management of their crops and croplands, especially
>regarding investment in soil fertility and in soil and water conservation,
>in the face of highly uncertain seasonal rainfall and yields.  The
>collaboration brings together ICRISAT's experimental data bases for India
>and Africa and APSIM, a cropping systems simulator developed in the
>Australian semi-arid tropics and subtropics.
>
>The Systems Modeller's primary responsibility is to expedite the effective
>use of APSIM in ICRISAT's research.  This will entail the testing of
>existing component crop and soil models and the development of new modules
>for APSIM.  He/she will work with project teams in developing efficient
>systems of data collection for models, in using the data to specify and test
>models, and in using system simulation to enhance project research.  An
>important part of this task will be the development of self-reliance within
>project teams in using APSIM.
>
>Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalent qualification in an
>agricultural science, substantial experience in soils-oriented agronomic
>research, and in using simulation models in such research.  Applicants
>should be proficient in FORTRAN.  Proficiency in oral and written English is
>necessary, and a command of French desirable.   Experience in international
>agricultural research and with semi-arid agriculture will be an advantage.
>
>The appointment will be initially on a two year contractual basis with the
>possibility of further contracts.  An internationally competitive salary and
>benefits package will be provided. ICRISAT is an equal opportunity employer,
>and is especially interested in increasing the participation of women on its
>staff.  ICRISAT is responsive to the needs of dual career couples.  A Fact
>Sheet on employment possibilities for spouses is available on request.
>ICRISAT has a flexible approach to international appointments and welcomes
>enquiries from persons interested in working at ICRISAT while on secondment.
>Applications, referring to the code number should reach the Chairperson of
>the Search Committee, Dr C.Renard, ICRISAT Asia Center, Patancheru, Andhra
>Pradesh 502 324, India [phone:+91(40)596161; fax:+91(40)241239] by 30
>September 1995.  The application should include a current curriculum vitae,
>the names and addresses (including fax/telex/e-mail) of three referees, the
>date of availability, and a statement on the special qualifications of the
>candidate for this position.
