Project Support - SAFE4ALL project

Project Support - SAFE4ALL project We are looking for someone to support the interdisciplinary SAFE4ALL project, set in Africa, funded by the European Commission, by preparing reports, organizing meetings, and guiding progress.

Within the SAFE4ALL project, there is the need for a person to develop policy reviews, report on scientific progress, and organize meetings between scientists and/or with stakeholders (including reporting). We are looking for someone who is used to academic reasoning and discussions to critically support progress of project scientists. This person will ensure smooth progress of the project and coordinate actions between different partners and external parties especially from Africa. You will work in an interdisciplinary team with African and European partners. Travel to Africa and within Europe is likely to be part of the project activities. About SAFE4ALL: SAFE4ALL addresses food security, disaster management and migration issues with the prime objective to better support local and regional actors in decision-making to safeguard African foodsheds and to build resilience in communities across scales. The formulation and implementation of climate adaptation and resilience plans at the regional and local level needs to speed up rapidly to keep pace with projections of climate risks. SAFE4ALL aims to harness the EU climate services landscape and leverage it with local knowledge from African case studies to co-create information and facilitate its uptake at the local to district and regional levels. SAFE4ALL advances the uptake of user-centred climate services in three carefully selected vulnerable regions across Africa, strengthening and expediting adaptation and resilience in those regions. Co-creation cases include services ranging from ecosystem management, agriculture and disaster management at time scales of near-real-time to seasonal forecasts.

Experience with scientific reporting and the organization of workshops and/or meetings. Strong analytical thinking and affinity with science and scientific thinking and working with both African and European scientists.
