The Pulte Institute is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Fellow to contribute to new research on water, poverty, and sustainability in the Global South. This is a full-time position available with an initial appointment of one-year, with a possible extension for up to three years on the basis of satisfactory performance and availability of funding.

Expected start date during the spring semester of 2024.
The fellow will work as part of an interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff, other postdoctoral fellows, and students in the Pulte Institute for Global Development in the Keough School for Global Affairs. The team works on a new research project supported by the Notre Dame Poverty Initiative. This position is part of a planned cohort of at least three postdoctoral fellows working on environment-poverty-related issues.

The projects they will contribute to include Water, Mining, and Human Rights; Resource (food, energy, water) Insecurity and Urban Poverty; Resources, Poverty, and Conflicts; and Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH), Poverty, and Health. The fellowship will involve collection and analyses of qualitative and survey data from multiple countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
