The Organization


The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people's lives.

Alliance solutions address the global crises of malnutrition, climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation.

The Alliance is part of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future, dedicated to reducing poverty, enhancing food and nutrition security, and improving natural resources and ecosystem services.


About the position


Food systems transformation for sustainable healthy diets is impeded by the absence of accessible science-based evidence and practical tools for decision-making.

Knowledge gaps range from an incomplete understanding of the demand for sustainable healthy diets; to the constraints in delivering affordable sustainable nutritious foods; to the limited evidence on food systems power and governance dynamics; to the poor understanding of trade-offs between goals and incentives of different actors; and to the lack of tested successful transformative pathways.

The Alliance is involved in several initiatives and projects aiming to fill these gaps and seeks a research associate to contribute to this work.

The position will be based within the Alliance office in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The Senior Research Associate will work in a multi-disciplinary team composed of national and international experts and will participate in various research activities, including characterizing, developing and implementing food systems/food environment interventions, and in documenting their outcomes and possible impacts.

  • Deliver synthetic periodic reports describing the process and the outputs and publications of the research, to support the execution of research projects;

  • Advise researchers on team capacities, processes and protocols, proposing solutions to anticipate and address issues that may affect research execution. Support identifying and linking with key national and subnational stakeholders to be included in research activities;
  • Contribute to the cohesion and development of good practices and trust among food systems actors, proactively identifying ways to increase engagement of national and subnational stakeholders and opportunities to make processes more efficient and inclusive; and
  • Join coordination meeting with other team members, participate to project schedules, and ensure the logistics, to ensure timely delivery of project activities.

  • At least 5 years of relevant professional experience, in a research organization or an NGO;
