Organizational Setting

The Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications implements the IAEA's Major Programme 2, "Nuclear Techniques for Development and Environmental Protection". This Major Programme comprises individual programmes on food and agriculture, human health, water resources, environment and radiation technologies. These programmes are supported by laboratories in Seibersdorf, Monaco and Vienna. The Major Programme's objective is to enhance the capacity of Member States to meet basic human needs and to assess and manage the marine and terrestrial environments through the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques in sustainable development programmes.

The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture assists Member States of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the IAEA in using nuclear techniques and related technologies to improve food security, alleviate poverty and promote sustainable agriculture. The Joint Division consists of five Sections, each with an associated laboratory (located in Seibersdorf, 45 km south-east of Vienna), in the areas of: animal production and health; plant breeding and genetics; insect pest control; soil and water management and crop nutrition; and food and environmental protection.

The Soil and Water Management and Crop Nutrition Section and Laboratory assist Member States in developing improved soil and water management practices for sustainable intensification of agricultural production systems, the conservation of natural resources and the effective use of external inputs through applied and adaptive research and development activities, technology transfer and capacity building

Main Purpose

As a member of a team led by the Head of the Soil and Water Management & Crop Nutrition Section, the Agricultural Water Scientist contributes to the results-based sub-programme relating to the development of improved agricultural water management and practices, as well as crop water modelling for increasing crop water productivity and enhancing sustainable environmental protection for better agricultural production systems through the use of nuclear and related techniques.

Role

The Agricultural Water Scientist is: (1) a technical officer and research coordinator, ensuring the efficient and effective development, implementation and dissemination of research, training and scientific and technical knowledge, and assisting in the evaluation and implementation of technical cooperation projects for the IAEA and FAO in the area of agricultural water management and practices for improving water use efficiency and sustainable environmental protection; (2) a technical expert, planning and conducting technical meetings and project review missions, and; (3) a facilitator, working with Member States to meet their national and regional agricultural water management development objectives.

Functions / Key Results Expected
- Contribute technical expertise to the implementation of coordinated research projects related to agricultural water management, advanced soil moisture sensing techniques, modern, digital technologies, and crop water modelling. This also includes the evaluation of research contracts and agreement proposals, monitoring the progress of projects, the organization of meetings and the publication of results.
- Prepare guidance and review information documents on nuclear and isotopic techniques relating to agricultural water management for improving water use efficiency and water resources conservation strategies for better production and environment, resilience to the impacts of climate change and variability.
- Support and contribute, as technical officer, to the IAEA's technical cooperation programme through planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of technical cooperation projects.
- Plan, organize and conduct scientific and advisory meetings, participate in technical missions, and represent the IAEA at international meetings and conferences.
