CGIAR’s Independent Advisory and Evaluation Function (IAES) maintains a roster of subject matter experts (SMEs). IAES is looking to broaden its current roster to fill gaps in expertise areas.
SME contracts could include work on:
- Research proposal reviews
- Independent process and performance evaluations
- Commissioned projects related to agrifood research for development (drafting of syntheses, frameworks, literature reviews, etc.)
- Peer reviews of publications and evaluation outputs
Qualified SMEs will be placed on the roster for three years with the potential for renewal. Assignments may be based on a day rate or honorarium and may be short- or long-term. SMEs are matched to opportunities based on their experience, expertise, and availability. Contracting is through the CGIAR System Organization based in Montpellier, France on behalf of IAES. Most contracts are desk assignments, with limited travel (if applicable). For roster inclusion, all SMEs are required to complete a Declaration of Interest for IAES conflict of interest policy adherence. Please note there is no guarantee of work for SMEs placed on the roster
Applications will be accepted until 17 May 2024, and will be considered on a rolling basis. Please note that upon approval, roster membership is not designed for continuing work, or to lead to a staff position.
