[CLOSED] International Call for Post-Doctoral Fellows in Climate Change Research

The Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) invites applications for Post-Doctoral Fellows to participate in a 5-year international interdisciplinary research programme on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation in the Semi-Arid Areas of South Asia. Appointments will be for a year, extendable to two years. 

These Fellowships are part of a multi-million dollar, 7-year IDRC/DFID funded frontier international research programme: CARIAA (Collaborative Adaptation Research in Africa and Asia) that builds on the recent IPCC Assessment Report 5 and focuses on three climate hotspots across Asia and Africa: (a) semi-arid regions (SARs) (b) deltas and (c) glacier and snow-pack dependent river basins.

IIHS leads the South-Asia regional research programme as part of the ASSAR (Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions) consortium, led by the University of Cape Town. It includes other international partners like the University of East Anglia, Oxfam and START. Within India, ATREE, IITM and WOTR are IIHS sub-grantees working across three Indian states and multiple transects:  the Bhavani basin region in Tamil Nadu, Ahmednagar in Maharashtra and Bangalore in Karnataka. The programme PI is one of the Coordinating Lead Authors of the IPCC Assessment Report 5 (2014).

ASSAR aims to deepen our understanding of climate vulnerability and adaptation in SARs and explore what is needed to transform current reactive adaptation practices to be more proactive, and enable widespread impact. Its main research themes are: i) socio-economic, political and governance dynamics; ii) climate and biophysical impacts; and iii) adaptation practices, options and strategies across the rural and urban areas.

It includes year-long Regional Diagnostic Studies (RDS); a two year Regional Research Programme (RRP) based on qualitative and quantitative field based research; development of climate scenarios; and formulation of adaptation strategies in conjunction with public agencies and local communities.

For more information on the Call for Post-Doctoral Fellows, please visit http://iihs.co.in/about/careers/post-doc/.  The selected candidates are expected to join from 1 October 2014.
