CERN - Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire
Organizational Setting The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a specialized UN agency mandated to lead global efforts to eradicate hunger and achieve food security for all. Its core objective is to ensure sustained access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that enables people to lead active and healthy lives. With 195 members—194 countries and the European Union—FAO operates in over 130 countries. In Sri Lanka, FAO has been engaged since 1979, with its country representation established in Colombo to support national development priorities in agriculture, food security, nutrition and resilience. FAO contributes to the realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through its Strategic Framework, which focuses on transforming agri-food systems to be more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. This transformation is operationalized through the “Four Betters”: Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment and a Better Life, while ensuring that no one is left behind. Since 2025, FAO Sri Lanka has initiated drought-related anticipatory action. While Sri Lanka currently undertakes drought monitoring based on observed conditions, there is a critical gap in operational drought prediction. Effective anticipatory action requires reliable, science-based drought forecasting with adequate lead time to trigger predefined actions that reduce agricultural and livelihood losses. Under the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP/SRL/4102), a Drought Forecasting Expert is to be recruited to support the Government of Sri Lanka—particularly the Department of Agriculture, Department of Meteorology and Disaster Management Centre—to develop and institutionalize an advanced drought prediction system through strengthened technical collaboration, data integration and capacity building. This proposed programme is expected to run through December 2027. Key activities include: • Activity 1: Provide technical support to strengthen drought prediction capabilities and develop context-specific drought indices for FAO programming and analysis. • Activity 2: Support the operationalization and application of drought forecasts within FAO-supported agricultural decision-making systems and anticipatory action frameworks. • Activity 3: Provide technical support for the development and implementation of anticipatory action triggers and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) under FAO-led initiatives. • Activity 4: Support FAO in enhancing national capacities and promoting long-term institutional sustainability through technical assistance, knowledge management, and capacity-strengthening activities. Reporting Lines The Drought Forecasting Expert will work under the overall supervision of the FAO Representative for Sri Lanka and the Maldives and the direct supervision of the Assistant FAO Representative (Programmes).

Former PhD candidates now work as postdoctoral research fellows, assistant professors, etc. in well-reputed Italian and international universities (e.g., Paris-Sorbonne, Utrecht University, University of York, New School New York, Cornell University, University of Bielefeld, Sciences Po, University of Strasbourg), research institutions (e.g., UN-ECLAC, ECB, Bank of Italy, STATEC-Luxembourg, OECD-Paris, JRC-Seville, Italian Ministry of Economic and Finance), and in the private sector (e.g., UBS). Areas of study and research facilities The training covers traditional domains of economic analysis (micro, macro, econometrics) but also offers the unique opportunity to study and get involved in research fields often neglected in standard PhD Courses. In line with the core research interests and expertise of the Institute of Economics at Sant’Anna and associate institutions, Advanced and Field topics encompass: evolutionary perspectives on economic change, firm-industry dynamics, economics of innovation, agent-based computational economics, economic networks and complexity, economic history and history of economic thought, and a broad range of quantitative tools for the analysis of big-data and economic dynamics. PhD students have access to research facilities (software, hardware, data) available via the Scuola library, the Institute of Economics, and the computational infrascture of the Department of Excellence EMBEDS. Positions available 5 Positions with Scholarships, of which: no. 4 funded by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies no. 1 funded by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies under the L’EMbeDS Project. Further positions may be made available before the start of the program, depending on external funding.
The PhD in Economics is a 4-year programme designed for highly qualified and motivated students who wish to acquire the research and analytical skills of the international scientific community in Economics. The Programme is offered in close cooperation with UCA-University of Cote d’Azur (Nice, France), and an agreement for exchange of students and faculty is also in place with the University of Strasbourg (France) and IMT-School Lucca. Students attend one year and a half of intensive course work, part of which (2-3 months) is hosted at the UCA. After the training period, students will proceed to supervised research work, yielding an original dissertation to be discussed in a final, public examination. It is expected that students produce articles publishable in international journals. PhD students are exposed to the vivid research environment and participate to various ongoing research activities of the Institute of Economics at Scuola Sant’AnnaThe Programme is also part of a large international network of institutions and scholars, supporting exchanges of research students and faculty.
