BRECcIA comprises 6 Universities located in 4 countries (Malawi, Kenya, Ghana and the UK), as well as partnerships with 8 international organisations. The main project focuses are on climate change and its social and environmental impacts on and water and food security in the drylands of Ghana, Malawi and Kenya; and on building research capability and capacity in those countries. The post holder will work directly with the Principal investigator, Professor Justin Sheffield, and with project CO-Is to undertake research on characterising and understanding the variability of water resources and extreme events such as floods and drought in these countries and more broadly across the continent, and
