About this position

Really excited to announce a fully funded PhD scholarship "Resilience of pastoral societies to social-ecological change in central Kenya".

https://lnkd.in/eTHXBcA5

Come and join Dr James Bennett, Dr Wilfred Odadi and myself to carry out research to understand how current pastoralist adaptation strategies build resilience to social-ecological change at different societal levels and what role indigenous knowledge plays in this. The research will investigate how local interventions brokered by NGOs and governmental actors seek to enable pastoralist resilience, with a particular focus on more equitable NbS and mechanisms for local conflict transformation.

Application deadline: 27 May 2025, for a September 2025 start date.
