Roma, Lazio, Italia FAO A tempo pieno

FAO is a non-smoking environment that offers a competitive compensation and benefits package to support its employees in their professional development. As a result, the organization encourages a positive workplace culture to increase inclusivity and diversity within its workforce.

The position of Agricultural Economist is available at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, within the Investments for Sustainable Markets, Agribusiness and Rural Transformations (iSMART) team within the Agrifood Economics and Policy Division (ESA). The iSMART team's primary focus lies in conducting economic analyses to promote investments transforming agrifood value chains and making agrifood systems more efficient, resilient, and inclusive.

The successful candidate will have advanced knowledge of micro-economic analysis, techniques, and tools, integrating advanced econometrics, survey design, sampling methodologies, resilience and risk analysis, spatial analysis, and impact evaluation techniques in the study of agrifood systems and agrifood value chains.

The selected individual will also specialize in analyzing the impact of policies, investments, and interventions that promote food security and nutrition, inclusive growth, increase incomes, reduce inequalities, and improve livelihoods of small-scale farmers and workers in the agrifood system.

To be eligible for this position, applicants must possess an advanced university degree in economics, econometrics, agricultural economics, spatial economics, development economics, or a related field, with three years of relevant experience in economic and quantitative analysis of agrifood systems.

The ideal candidate should have a strong background in applied quantitative research in the field of agrifood systems, including experience in preparation of papers and/or reports for publication, as well as excellent programming skills in specialized software, particularly R, but also others such as STATA, ArcGIS, Python, or others.

This role requires a comprehensive understanding of poverty and inequalities issues, in the context of the agrifood sector of low- and middle-income countries, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams with minimal supervision and to plan workflows to meet tight deadlines.

For this position, we offer a salary range of approximately $USD 60,000 - USD 80,000 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package, including dependency allowances, rental subsidy, education grant for children, home leave travel, annual leave, pension fund entitlements under the UN Joint Staff Pension Fund, international health insurance, optional life insurance, disability protection, and other benefits.
