Tu partiras dans l’un des 14 pays partenaires de la coopération belge dans l’objectif est de contribuer activement aux Objectifs de développement durable (ODD).

ONG : Rikolto 

Rikolto est une ONG internationale avec plus de 40 ans d'expérience dans le partenariat avec des organisations paysannes et le secteur alimentaire. Rikolto permet et soutient les petits agriculteurs de prendre leur rôle dans la réduction de la pauvreté en milieu rural et de contribuer à nourrir une population mondiale croissante de manière durable. Rikolto contribue à leur autonomisation en améliorant leur situation dans l’ensemble de la chaîne agricole, depuis la production jusqu’à la consommation. La demande des consommateurs et les marchés sont les principales forces régissant ces chaînes. Dès lors, Rikolto facilite des initiatives de commercialisation identifiées et définies par les agriculteurs. Rikolto soutient des programmes de développement en Afrique, d’Asie et d'Amérique latine par le biais de 8 Rikolto bureaux régionaux.

Mission :

L’objectif principal de cette fonction sera de contribuer au renforcement des capacités entrepreneuriales des partenaires de Rikolto au Mali (chaines de valeurs riz blanc & sésame grain) ainsi que de promouvoir l’inclusion des jeunes et des femmes à travers le programme.

Doté de solides compétences en gestion, l’Expert Junior aura pour tâche de coacher les jeunes Maliens qui entreprennent dans le secteur agricole. L’antenne de Rikolto au Mali compte seulement un Chargé des Programmes (le superviseur). Or, les programmes sont d’une envergure importante : 2 chaines de valeur (riz et sésame), 4 grandes organisations paysannes (dont 2 couvrant tout le territoire). Un appui à ce Chargé des Programmes (qui, en outre, assure les responsabilités de Chargé Suivi-Evaluation au niveau régional pour Rikolto) est devenu primordial. Les compétences de l’EJ seront complémentaires à celles en agronomie et Suivi-Evaluation du superviseur afin de rendre l’équipe de Rikolto du Mali plus efficace.

A PhD in a relevant field is an asset. • You have significant field experience (> 4 years) in research on zoonotic infectious/tropical diseases in low-resource settings. Experience in epidemic preparedness and outbreak response is an asset. • You have participated or contributed to animal-related field research/interventions within an inte-grated On Health approach.

CONTEXT The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM, www.itg.be) is an internationally recognised centre of excel-lence for education, research and service delivery in the field of tropical medicine and global health. It has an extensive network of structural collaboration with scientific institutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America with which it collaborates closely to improve the fight against infectious diseases and the strengthening of health systems. In view of current global health challenges, and with support of the Flemish Ministry of Sciences, ITM is establishing an Outbreak Research Team (ORT) with the aim to conduct collaborative and interdiscipli-nary research on epidemic outbreaks of tropical and infectious diseases, especially but not exclusively in low and middle income countries. We seek to recruit a number of committed and experienced scien-tists with complementary profiles, who will reinforce the current core team consisting of an epidemiol-ogist, an entomologist and a clinician. They will be expected to work across disciplinary and thematic boundaries and to develop joint or individual innovative projects. The initial main foci are (1) under-standing drivers of transmission and spread of epidemic outbreaks; (2) design and evaluation of diag-nostic methods for epidemic pathogens; (3) management, analysis and modelling of outbreak data; (4) development and evaluation of interventions to control and prevent outbreaks, including the involve-ment of and impact on regular health services and systems. While being dedicated to the ORT, the experts will be positioned in the appropriate scientific units in one of the three academic departments of ITM, i.e. Clinical Sciences, Biomedical Sciences and Public Health. The ORT as such will be organised according to an institutional project management matrix. The experts will be based at ITM in Antwerp, Belgium but must be prepared to travel on short-term notice to outbreak areas around the world, often in difficult positions. In between overseas assign-ments, they will perform inter-epidemic research on the ORT subjects. Apart from their work in the ORT, the experts will also be involved in departmental tasks in research, training and service delivery. The Department of Clinical Sciences concentrates on patient-based research, training and services in low-resource settings , with emphasis on tropical and infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS. It also runs the Medical Services of the ITM. We are looking for a medical, veterinarian or biomedical scientist with expertise in zoonotic infectious diseases and clinical research in resource-constrained settings. This position is opened in the unit of Tropical Diseases (Prof. Emmanuel Bottieau) with the aim to be a member of the ITM outbreak re-search team (ORT). Research protocols to prevent, assess and manage outbreaks and epidemics are to be developed together with the other disciplines in the ORT team (such as epidemiology, social science, diagnostic microbiology, molecular biology, health systems and policy and ecology). Each ORT scientist will carry out the following assignments in his/her specific domain: • On-site and inter-epidemic research in an interdisciplinary, international and collaborative context • Literature reviews and updates • Project formulation, fund-raising, reporting and scientific publishing • Teaching and training on-site, in Antwerp or through distance-learning • Providing expert advice and coaching at national and international level • Following up outbreak alerts and contribute to international coordination • Take part in international fora; interact with world-wide scientists, experts and stakeholders. Specific Assignment for the Expert in zoonotic diseases/One Health programs • You will work as a researcher in the unit of Tropical Diseases, while playing an active role in the interdepartmental outbreak research team. You work in collaboration with biomedical and public health researchers. • You will conduct research activities in the field of epidemic-prone zoonotic infectious diseases, in collaboration with other actors within and outside our institution, in low-resource countries and in Belgium/Europe. • You will regularly perform short missions to low-resource settings for outbreak investigation-related assignments. This may lead to the identification of research gaps at the human-animal in-terface and the implementation of relevant research and interventions in humans and animals within an integrated One Health approach. • You will elaborate and update generic research protocols together with other ORT scientists with a focus on the animal and ecological aspects of epidemic zoonoses. • You will contribute to systematic reviews on current generic and disease-specific management of potential zoonotic threats (arthropod-borne, respiratory, …) in view of epidemic preparedness. • You will actively take part in the departmental research on evidence-based medicine with a focus on animal/ecological components of epidemic diseases and on integrated One Health control inter-ventions. • You will contribute to the educational activities related to outbreak management and to zoonotic diseases provided by the department.

• You hold a relevant Master’s degree. • You are in fluent in English and French; knowledge of Dutch, Spanish or other languages is an asset. • You have experience in research, including research protocol development; experience in outbreak response is an asset. • Working experience in LMIC and/or with partners from LMIC is essential. • You have experience in project management office (PMO), and knowledge of financial, administra-tive, legal and standard logistic procedures (i.e. in research projects: procurement, subcontracting, privacy & ethical legislation, ..). • You are willing to travel on short notice to outbreak areas, and to work and live in difficult condi-tions. • You have team spirit, and are open to multi-disciplinary interactions. • You are highly motivated, quality-minded and result-driven.
