With more than 700 staff and over 8,000 students, UDST is the destination for top-notch applied and experiential learning. The University is recognized for its student-centered learning and state-of-the-art facilities. Our faculty are committed to delivering pedagogically-sound learning experiences with the incorporation of innovative technological interventions, to further enhance students’ skills and help develop talented graduates that can effectively contribute to a knowledge-based economy and make Qatar’s National Vision 2030 a reality.

UDST is undertaking a fixed-term research project with the University of Cambridge to model interacting networks of a global value chain and institutional food policy systems.

The model will be implemented by the development of a large database on international and interregional production and trade linkages, as well as incomes for workers (characterized by their occupation, educational level and location of work) and capital for 4 developing countries.

This role involves substantial 'data wrangling' and an ability to think logically and consistently when working with messy, textual as well as numeric data variables. These strategies include utilizing experimental design, implementation, sampling strategies, real-time interactive experiments, collection and analysis of social media content, and statistical analysis methods along with open-source data. The major component of the project will be to identify internet-based data collection strategies to overcome gaps in the political, economic, social and infrastructural dataset.

**Essential Duties**:
The primary duties entail: 1) the development of analytical and computational models of coupled infrastructure systems; 2) working with other team members to integrate information from empirical cases from physical infrastructure networks and governance protocols into the modelling project; and 3) implementing a stylized model of coupled infrastructure systems to analyze resilience for various types of scenarios for a country.

Qualifications:
**Programming skills in the following systems are essential**:

- Statistical Programming: R
- Scripting Languages: Python (or other languages, PHP, Javascript, Perl)
- Database Management: MySQL
- Geographical package: QGIS, GRASS GIS

Skills or experience in using the following systems would be an advantage:

- Crowd-computing (e.g. AWS)

The post is a full-time appointment for a fixed term of one year, with the possibility of renewal.
