This role seeks someone who will think beyond traditional academic programs, and seek unique and uncommon solutions to advancing education and training in the AGL region.

Information & Data Program Coordinator
ACARE’s information and data program in part seeks to address scientific information and data exchange issues on large, freshwater African lakes. Understanding the ecological functioning and socio–economic values of these resources is critical to inform their mid- and long-term sustainable use. Management and protection of the lakes depends on quality, comprehensive, and time-series data to make good decisions. The purpose of this position is to ensure that all data, publications, and other information are collected or identified and made available for use in making the AGL healthy.
