BACKGROUND:
IITA is an international non-profit research-for-development (R4D) organization created in 1967, governed by a Board of Trustees, and supported primarily by the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Our R4D is anchored on the development needs of sub-Saharan Africa. We develop agricultural solutions with our partners to tackle hunger and poverty by reducing producer and consumer risks, enhancing crop quality and productivity, and generating wealth from agriculture. We have more than 100 internationally recruited scientists from about 35 countries and 900 nationally recruited staff based in various stations across Africa. Please visit http://www.iita.org/ for more information on IITA.
IITA intends to implement a project entitled: Making Agricultural Innovations Work for Smallholder Farmers Affected by HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa (MIRACLE). The overall objectives of the project are to contribute towards sustainable livelihoods of People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWHIV) in Southern Africa and to improve their health and nutritional status, food security and income through the production, consumption and marketing of nutritionally-enhanced crop and livestock products, lobbying for supportive agricultural and health policies, and strengthening the capacity of key stakeholders engaged in agricultural activities.

EXXON Mobil Jobs Vacancies, Monday 3 January, 2011
AUTOREQID: 8804BR
JOB OR CAMPUS FOLDER: 2011 GLOBAL
GEOSCIENCE CAMPUS*
JOB DESCRIPTION DEGREE/DISCIPLINE NEEDED
MS or PhD Geology, quantitative background advantageousMS or PhD Geophysics, geologic background advantageous
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
A diverse group of talented geoscientists with the ability to integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geologic problems across exploration, and production functions; Judgement and speed in application of geoscience tools and techniques; and, a desire to maintain their competitive advantage through advanced training and superior technological understanding.
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION GEOLOGISTS AND GEOPHYSICISTS
ExxonMobil is interested in finding outstanding scientists who have a strong fundamental background in the earth sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics. We have excellent proprietary capabilities in teaching petroleum science and technology, and therefore do not require new geoscientists to have any prior petroleum course work or experience. There is, however, a requirement for demonstrated leadership, adaptability, teamwork, excellent communication skills in English, and a commitment to high safety and ethical standards. The company regards its global and long-term approach to hiring and career development as the foundation of its future success as a company, and as a source of great opportunity for scientists who want to grow their skills and capabilities for a long-term career.
RESEARCHERSGeoscience careers with ExxonMobil also offer the opportunity to perform basic and applied research in seeking new ways to find and recover petroleum supplies. Our research programs reflect exploration and production business strategies; for example, pursuing attractive exploration opportunities, developing production from new fields, and maximizing economic recovery from existing fields. We maintain close relationships with ExxonMobil operating organizations around the world. A primary means for transferring technology to ExxonMobil operations is through research applications in which results of recent research are applied to a wide range of exploration and production problems. In many cases, these technical experts are made available to ExxonMobil operating organizations through temporary or regular assignments.
INTERNSHIPS
ExxonMobil is dedicated to an ongoing recruiting program and our geoscience internship is one avenue we pursue to find qualified candidates. Each year, ExxonMobil hires bright and energetic students who are participating in an MS or Ph.D. program. Internships are available year round.
TYPICAL WORK LOCATION
Initial assignments in exploration, production, development or research are typically in Houston, Texas. Longer-term assignments could be in Houston or one of our international offices located around the globe.
TYPICAL STARTING OPPORTUNITIES
Geoscientists with ExxonMobil have the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and expertise throughout their careers. Multiple assignments in operations and/or research ensure the needed breadth and depth of experience and expertise for success. Geoscientists have opportunities to develop broad backgrounds necessary to do exploration and production mapping and prospecting or to specialize in various technical aspects of the exploration and production process.
TYPICAL ASSIGNMENTSOPERATIONS
Exploration assignments are done at the prospect to play scales and focus on discovering and assessing new fields. Regional/frontier teams integrate data on play to basin scales to identify areas for future exploration or to better define an existing exploration trend. New opportunity teams typically work in areas where new concessions or discoveries have been made to test new prospects of confirm existing discoveries to determine whether or when production operations should commence.Production assignments are done at the reservoir to field scales and focus on defining, developing and depleting new or mature exiting fields. A strong emphasis in these assignments will be to build skills in integrating and interpreting geological and geophysical data, such as core/cuttings, fluids, outcrops, and seismic, using advanced mapping, interpretation, modeling and other techniques.Development assignments are in projects transitioning from exploration to production and the experiences and skills learned will be a combination of both.
RESEARCH
Fundamental and applied research opportunities also exist for PhD applicants in three general areas:Hydrocarbon systems research includes, geochemistry, basin evolution, structural dynamics, petrophysics and geomechanicsReservoir performance prediction research includes controls on flow in clastic and carbonate reservoirs, geologic modeling and visualizationGeophysics research includes advanced processing, acquisition, interpretation and modeling of seismic and other geophysical dataResearch in all areas includes a significant component of field studies and takes advantage of state-of-the-art analytical and experimental laboratories and processing and numerical modeling capabilities.
