Job Descriptions
A community-based participatory breeding activity based from our research facilities located in Beijing, China. This position is new, so no model exists for this work. Therefore, we seek an individual that can work across cultures, and languages (whether spoken directly or indirectly through a translator), uniting farmers to achieve an agreed potato breeding framework and common purpose. This position will be unique in its role, responsibilities, and undertaking, as it will require initiating a mechanism to work with farmers, scientists and students to develop a new and as-yet-untried method of working in the community. The individual is expected to bring novel ideas and have a gritty work ethic to deliver fruition. The individual will be responsible for supervising African students working on FAO-funded projects that will have projects on the farmers’ land related to the participatory breeding activities.
