Post Doctoral Research Fellow, Political Economy of Fisheries & Aquaculture Development, WorldFish Headquarters, Penang, Malaysia

The WorldFish Center seeks an outstanding early-career scholar with broad vision and individual ambition but strong teamwork and research support skills to contribute to the work of its Policy, Economics and Social Science (PESS) group. The successful candidate will work within PESS, but also across the Natural Resource Management (NRM) and Aquaculture (AQ) groups to advance a political economy analysis of fisheries and aquaculture development, focused on the least developed countries of Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This work intends to inform on-going fisheries governance reforms and aquaculture growth strategies, helping to ensure that they contribute effectively to reducing poverty and hunger in countries with significant fish production opportunities.

The position is for two years initially, and is potentially renewable for a further three. Although the position is envisaged to be largely desk-based for the first 12 months, and we place a premium on theoretical and analytical abilities, candidates who also have skills and interest in field-based research are encouraged to apply, as there are existing opportunities for field research, and it is envisaged that the successful candidate will be supported to develop an independent research programme during the second year of tenure.
