Background
Since 2001, the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) has served as a global research coordination network that connects researchers and promotes integrated global change research in mountain regions worldwide. The MRI Coordination Office, hosted at the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) at the University of Bern, Switzerland, coordinates this network through knowledge creation-enabling activities such as syntheses workshops, working groups, events, and platforms that bring researchers and stakeholders from diverse disciplines, practice, and backgrounds together. The Global Network for Observations and Information in Mountain Environments (GEO Mountains), a Work Programme Initiative of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and co-led by the MRI as a Flagship Activity, facilitates the discoverability and access to data and information relevant for monitoring global change in mountains. The network links to and leverages the relevant work of MRI Working Groups, plus multiple stakeholders and experts from across the EO community and research institutions, as well as projects and networks of mountain research and observatories, worldwide. For more information, please visit www.mountainresearchinitiative.org.
To continue fulfilling our mission, and support the work of the MRI and GEO Mountains, we are seeking a dynamic and motivated “all-rounder” to join the MRI Coordination Office team as a
Scientific Project Officer, to cover for a maternity leave.
