and minimum standards and related areas.

researchers from USP and partner
institutions in Europe, liase with stakeholders and policy makers,
develop broad ownership of the research
programmes and ensure that research feeds into human resource
development policy process in individual
South Pacific States and at the regional level. The research outputs
will support the formulation of national
and regional labour market, industrial relations, and human resource
development strategies in South
Pacific States.
The Professor will also contribute to teaching and further development
