The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) invites applications for three AIMS-Canada Research Chairs in Climate Change Science to be based at AIMS Rwanda.
The program seeks outstanding female African and non-African scientists whose research seeks to elucidate the scale and causes of climate change; predict climatic conditions, especially at small temporal and spatial scales; and develop and apply novel strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Each chair will be tasked with executing a world-class research program able to contribute significantly towards building both the human capital and the scientific knowledge base required to solve important climate change-related problems in Africa and beyond.
WORTH
Each Chair will be provided up to USD 970,000 over a four-year period.
ELIGIBILITY
The applicant should:
- Be a female;
- Hold a doctorate degree in a quantitative discipline including, but not limited to, applied mathematics, climatology, physics, chemistry, computer science, statistical ecology, or engineering;
- Demonstrate significant evidence of excellent, self-initiated and self-directed research in climate change science;
- Have at least two (2) years of postdoctoral experience;
- Have experience supervising Master’s and/or PhD students; and
- Have the ability to take up the Chair by the end of 2018.
DEADLINE: November 25 2018
