Background
The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is an integrated set of activities funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is intended to provide timely, accurate, evidence-based, and transparent food security early warning information and analysis. Created in 1985 in response to famines in East and West Africa, FEWS NET provides global coverage of acute food insecurity.
FEWS NET's work is implemented across several mechanisms by a team of partners that includes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and others.

Job Summary:
Nutrition is an integral part of food security analysis. Poor nutritional status contributes to acute food insecurity as both a potential outcome and a potential driver. The FEWS NET DS Team incorporates nutrition information and data into its convergence of evidence on current acute food insecurity and when developing assumptions in its scenario development process.
The overarching goal for the FEWS NET DS Team's nutrition sector is to fully integrate nutrition information into FEWS NET's early warning and food security analysis. The Nutrition Advisor will lead and coordinate nutrition-related efforts with select regional staff, the FEWS NET DS Team's integrated analysis teams, and key partners in the broader food security and nutrition community.

Managing the DS Team's nutrition sector, including setting technical priorities and leading on the identification and implementation of work plan activities.
Advising on best practices for the use of nutrition data and information in food security and nutrition analysis.

Leading the FEWS NET DS Team's efforts to access nutrition-related data and maintenance of related databases.
