*Two PhD Positions on Sustainable Water Governance in India based at MLU
Halle, Germany, deadline - September 15, 2019*
The Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Policy at the Martin
Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU Halle) is searching for candidates
to fill 2 PhD positions through DAAD Research Grants – Doctoral Programmes
in Germany. The positions will be based on an international collaborative
project “Scaling up experiential learning tools for sustainable water
governance in India”. The details of the call and information on how to
apply can be found and shared through this link:
https://europe.iasc-commons.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Call_for_Applications_Two_DAAD-PhD_candidates_at_MLU_Halle.pdf.
Please note that only certain country nationals are eligible to apply
(following DAAD’s country requirements).
Deadline for applications is *September 15, 2019*. Both positions are
limited to three years (extension is possible), with the expected date of
start October 1, 2020. Earlier start and some flexibility is possible,
subject to availability of funds and mutual agreement.
*About the project:*
“Scaling up experiential learning tools for sustainable water governance in
India” is a collaborative project developed by the International Food
Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Foundation for Ecological Security
(FES), The National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management
(MANAGE), and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU Halle).
The purpose of the project is to improve the capacities of 1,500 rural
communities covering 105,000 households directly and 2,000 communities
covering 140,000 indirectly in six Indian states to manage water more
sustainably. This will be achieved through experiential learning from
collective action games, community debriefings, and participatory water
planning tools that contribute to greater awareness and improved
governance, inducing behavioral change towards more sustainable water
management. The experiential learning is expected to motivate communities
to change behavior and adopt rules for collective water management, leading
to sustainable water management and thereby contributing to the improved
natural resources and ecosystem services and reduced poverty. The project
builds on multi-year pioneering activities of the project partners across
the globe and in India in particular, and represents an unprecedented
scaling up initiative with a specific focus on governance aspects of
natural resource management. The PhD candidates will work and collaborate
with some of the leading scholars and practitioners in the field of
collective action for management of the commons (i.e., shared natural
resources such as forests, rangelands, and water).
If you match the requirements and would be interest to join this dynamic
collaborative project, please apply. We would also appreciate very much if
you could forward the call to potential candidates.
