Description

~ Bioversity International ("Bioversity" for short) is the world's largest organization undertaking research on agricultural biodiversity, dedicated to addressing global issues related to food security, poverty, climate change and environmental degradation. ~  

We are a non-profit organization, active in over 100 countries worldwide, with more than 350 staff working from some 16 country offices. We are one of 15 centres of the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centres (CGIAR). For further information on Bioversity International, consult our web page.

Position Overview 

Bioversity's mode of operation is highly unusual in international research and development. Our bioversity program does not have its own research facilities but operates primarily as a catalyst and facilitator, contracting most of its research to partner institutions. This has a critical implication for the function and role of the Scientist staff group, whose mode of operation mirrors the Organization's. 

Please be advised that Bioversity International will only contact those applicants to whom it may be able to offer a temporary position. The applications will be retained by the Organization for a maximum of 12 months.  

Qualifications 

Minimum Qualification & Experience: 

  • Skills & abilities: Bioversity's Scientists require knowledge and ability in key areas of their discipline(s), with the predominant emphasis on either biological/agricultural or information science. 
  • This knowledge is originally derived from academic training and practice, typically to PhD or other higher degree level, and extended through subsequent professional experience.
