Do you have what it takes to make an impact on global food and nutrition security? We are looking for exceptional candidates to help drive forward our work to improve the lives of poor people.
The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the University of Greenwich, UK, carries out specialised research, teaching, training and consultancy with a focus on food, agriculture, environment and sustainable livelihoods.
This is an opportunity to work in an international and vibrant institute, where our teams of natural and social scientists carry out award-winning interdisciplinary research for development. We are well-known across the developing world for practical application of our findings, devising sustainable solutions that make a difference.
NRI is currently expanding its research to address food and nutrition security, especially in Africa. This expansion, called the Food and Nutrition Security Initiative (FaNSI) (see www.nri.org/FanSI), is funded by UKRI’s Research England under the ‘Expanding Excellence in England’ (E3) scheme. Investment will be across four specific areas:
Climate Change, Agriculture and Natural Resources- Sustainable Agricultural Intensification
- Food Loss and Waste
- Food Systems for Improved Nutrition
