Short-term consultancy on drought - based in UN ESCAP Bangkok

[Syed T Ahmed]

Dear Colleagues and friends

We have advertised a short-term consultancy (with possibility of extension) to help ESCAP with a study on drought in the ASEAN region. Deadline is 24 March 2017.

The consultant is expected to work here at our Bangkok office and may support the Regional Drought Mechanism after this contract has finished. For this reason we're looking for someone who can write well (technical and policy) and who has a background/knowledge in remote sensing and GIS particularly in the areas of agriculture and environment..

Please encourage any candidates you know to apply and help us to disseminate through your networks. You can drop me a quick email also for any questions.

Best regards
Syed

Dear Colleagues,

We have a short term consultancy (with the possibility of extension) so please pass it onto anyone you might think is suitable. Money isn't fabulous but certainly enough to get by in Bangkok.  More importantly, it will be good experience. We're really looking for someone with some earth observation and/or GIS experience, though it won't be a huge part of the work initially. The work relates to drought management in ASEAN countries, specifically Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam.
Any interested candidates should apply through the following usual online portal: https://inspira.un.org/psc/UNCAREERS/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/UN_CUSTOMIZATIONS.UN_JOB_DETAIL.GBL?Page=UN_JOB_DETAIL&Action=A&JobOpeningId=75981
