Reporting to the Principal Investigator, the post holder will provide research support and programme coordination for an international collaborative research programme (The Flourishing Landscapes Programme) on ecological intensification in smallholder agricultural systems at tropical forest frontiers. The FLP addresses key knowledge gaps regarding the role of biodiversity in maximising nature’s contributions to people (NCPs) in agricultural landscapes, with innovative social and ecological methods. Building on this, via a human-centred design approach applied in Ghana, Ecuador and Viet Nam in coffee and cocoa production landscapes, the FLP will co-design, with rural communities, a citizen-led biodiversity monitoring toolkit to empower communities to utilise adaptive management to harness NCPs in their production.

The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
