WorldFish is looking for a post-doctoral fellow (PDF) with social science and gender training to lead this research with support from natural and social scientists currently working for WorldFish in Egypt and Zambia. The PDF will review and validate the findings of consumer and market studies already carried out in Egypt and Zambia (if applicable) and then design and administer field surveys using a perspective to further investigate market preferences (fish size, appearance, flesh quality, shelf-life, processing attributes) of poor and vulnerable fish consumers and retailers. This will build on work already carried out by WorldFish in Egypt by the SDC-funded IEIDEAS and STREAMS projects. The research will also link with a new GIZ-funded research program – the AquaLINC project – which looks in more detail at matching poor consumer requirements for farmed fish in Egypt and Bangladesh by adapting farming systems and improving the nutritional composition of farmed fish.
