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.
