The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) seeks to recruit a Post-doctoral fellow to conduct social science and gender research on control of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) through a newly funded project operating in 6 countries in East and West Africa.

PPR causes significant losses in small ruminants and thus jeopardizing livelihoods of small holders in East and West Africa. Given the important role of women in managing small ruminants, there is a need to understand how this important livestock disease affects different household members, how women can play a role in supporting disease control efforts and how engaging women can transform their livelihoods.

Identify gendered barriers and opportunities in small ruminant systems to PPR management.

Link closely with the epidemiology team to develop epi/people framework to target interventions for PPR

Identify and implement possible gender transformative approaches to improve PPR control

Collaborate closely with other PPR research partners in planning and carrying out the research.

Prepare and make presentations on research undertaken.

Undertake national and international travel as necessary to accomplish research objectives.

Requirements:

A PhD in rural sociology, geography, anthropology, economics

Experience

in gender theory and research

Experience in livestock systems or agriculture

Experience in doing on-ground fieldwork in possibly difficult circumstances

Experience in participatory approaches
