5. Emoluments: Rs. 31,000 per month 

6. Duration: Till the end of the project (16 July 2022) 

7. Job description: Climate change has strongly related viith the climatic variability. Climatic variability causes abnormal changes in the temperature and rainfall pattems within turn related to climatic extremes such as frequent floods and droughts and thus have significant effect on the agricultural production systems. Therefore this study tend to understand the yield gap under projected climate change scenarios and identifying adaptation practices to minimize the impact of climate change.

8. Knowledge of GIS software (e.g. QGIS, ArcGIS);

b. Strong programming skills (e.g. R, Matlab, Python, Fortran)

c. Experience in work with hydrological and/or crop yield models

d. Experience in analysis of large environmental and climate data sets.
