RECRUITMENT NOTICE


SCIENTIST/SENIOR SCIENTIST - PACIFIC OFFICE




1.????? ICLARM invites applications from scientists with broad experience in research for sustainable management of inshore fisheries resources, e.g. through responsible aquaculture, stock enhancement, marine protected areas or other interventions to improve productivity. The appointment will be within ICLARM's Coastal and Marine Resources Research Program and based at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in Noumea, New Caledonia under a joint contract with SPC.


BACKGROUND

  1. ICLARM conducts research on the sustainable use and conservation of living aquatic resources for the benefit of the poor in developing countries. ICLARM places special emphasis on fisheries associated with coral reefs in small island developing states and has been conducting research on ways to increase the productivity of high-value coral reef species in the Pacific since 1986. These research projects have included farming and restocking of giant clams; transfer of methods for culturing blacklip pearl oysters, based on wild spat, from the Eastern to the Western Pacific; propagation and restocking of sea cucumbers, capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish; combined culture of trochus and giant clams; effects of a marine protected area (MPA) on stocks of valuable coral reef invertebrates; and effects of run-off from logging on inshore habitats. Most of this research has been done in Solomon Islands but ICLARM is now diversifying its activities in the region and conducting projects in several Pacific Islands. From now on, ICLARM will co-ordinate all its projects in the Pacific from a new office at the SPC.

    THE POSITION

  2. ICLARM is seeking to appoint a Scientist/Senior Scientist to lead our research in the Pacific. The main duties will be:
    • To supervise the active projects from the list above, which are located either at ICLARM's field station in Solomon Islands (giant clams, pearl oysters, post-larval fish and MPA), New Caledonia (sea cucumbers), Tonga (pearl oysters) or PNG (post-larval fish).
    • To identify and prioritise strategic and researchable issues for increased, sustainable fisheries production from coral reefs and other inshore habitats, in consultation with SPC, other regional organisations and Pacific Island nations.
    • To prepare proposals to development agencies for agreed research priorities and to supervise the new projects.
    • To collaborate with other scientists at ICLARM to implement the components of their projects relevant to the Pacific, e.g. the activities of the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN).
  • To maintain ICLARM's official relationships with the Governments of New Caledonia and Pacific Island nations. The position will report to the Leader of the Coastal and Marine Resources Research Program at ICLARM under the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement between ICLARM and SPC for this post and will be offered for three years in the first instance.

4.????? The appointee is expected to have a Ph.D., excellent skills in design and analysis of large-scale sampling programs and field experiments, and experience in one or more of the following research areas: coastal aquaculture, restocking/stock enhancement, fisheries stock assessment, marine protected areas. A strong publication record, proven leadership and management of projects, ability to collaborate with other research and management agencies, experience in preparing grant proposals, fluency in English (ICLARM's working language) and good communication skills are also essential. Ability to speak French would be an advantage.


SALARY AND BENEFITS

5.????? ICLARM offers internationally competitive remuneration paid in US dollars and a comprehensive benefits package. ICLARM is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes all applications regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, and religious persuasion or political beliefs. Applications from women and developing country professionals are especially encouraged.

The Galapagos Archipelago contains some of the most unusual and fascinating
species in the world. 95% of its original plant and animal species still
survive. But human introductions of invasive species have greatly endangered
the archipelago.? The Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos
Islands is working to develop methods of control and removal of these
invasive species through scientific investigation. Work includes research
on plants, insects, and vertebrates.? Through such research, combined with
education, training, advisory services and collaboration with the local
community, the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galapagos National Park
Service are working to conserve the unique ecosystems that still exist in
these islands.? In the four decades that the Foundation and the Galapagos
National Park have existed, there have been important successes in control
and eradication of alien species and ecological restoration, for example
through captive breeding and repatriation of giant tortoises.

The Charles Darwin Foundation is currently going through a process of
restructuring and institutional strengthening. We are seeking an EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR to join our institution, based at our headquarters, the Charles
Darwin Research Station in Galapagos, Ecuador. The successful applicant
will be responsible for overseeing all CDF operations locally, nationally
and internationally, while leading the CDF through a period of important
conservation challenges and opportunities, as well as the restructuring
and strengthening of the organization.

If possible, applications should be sent by 31 July, but late applications
will be accepted until the position is filled.? Applicants should e-mail
their CV, a letter detailing their interest and relevant experience, and
names of three referees to? exdir@...

We also seek two highly motivated, experienced fund-raising professionals:

.??????? DIRECTOR OF INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, to direct all fund-raising
for the CDF, develop fund-raising capacity and generate a much larger, more
reliable, diverse financial base.? The location of this position is
negotiable.

.??????? CAPITAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER, to lead an ambitious campaign to
capitalize an endowment fund for CDF and our key partner, Galapagos National
Park Service.? This position will be located in the USA.

Applicants for either of these two positions should e-mail their CV, a

SPC/Recruitment Notice No. 01/10

Page 1


SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY

DUTY STATEMENT


AQUACULTURE ADVISER


The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an independent intergovernmental agency providing technical advice, assistance, training and research in the service of the 22 Pacific Island countries and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It currently has a staff of more than 230. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and French being the working languages.

The Coastal Fisheries Programme (CFP) makes up half of the SPC's Marine Resources Division, with a current staff complement of 25. Its mission is: "To provide a regional support service that assists Pacific Islanders in identifying the status, and optimising the long-term social and economic value, of small-scale fisheries and aquatic resource use in Pacific Island waters."

.
The Aquaculture Adviser will manage the new SPC aquaculture programme. The broad aim of SPC in this initiative is not to set up just another Pacific Island aquaculture development project, but to provide support and information to governments, investment authorities and the private sector in planning aquaculture activities that are both economically and environmentally sustainable - information to enable the assessment of realistic prospects, to avoid the pitfalls of the past, and to take into account the experiences of other island countries.

The Aquaculture Adviser will manage the work program of the Aquaculture Section and will be responsible directly to the Director of Marine Resources but will also maintain close working relationships with other organisations collaborating in the Pacific Islands Regional Aquaculture Strategy and other SPC Coastal Fisheries Sections.

The post requires a self-starter with considerable initiative, accustomed to working in new situations in new countries and comfortable collaborating with people from all levels of Pacific Island society, from the community to the senior government level.


DUTIES

  1. Maintain a regional network of contacts as a means of exchanging ideas, knowledge and experience on Pacific Island aquaculture issues including:
  • developing information sources for a new SPC Aquaculture Special Interest Group News Bulletin; and
  • establishing a regional information base of aquaculture activity in SPC member countries and territories, covering enterprises, government activities, aquacultured species, relevant legislation, and production;

2.????? Maintain collaborative working partnerships with other agencies, including other Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP) agencies, and the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM);

3.????? Advise and assist Pacific Island government departments and private sector operators, as appropriate, in the establishment of environmentally and economically sustainable aquaculture, including:

  • assisting Pacific Island governments and private sector to assess aquaculture investment proposals and projects; and
  • assisting Pacific Island governments and communities to draw up practical plans, policies or regulations governing aquaculture;

SPC/Recruitment Notice No. 01/10

4.????? Based on this fieldwork in member countries and territories, and other reports and contacts, collect and compile existing and new information on aquaculture activities, and produce reviews and reports for the benefit of local, national, regional and international planning processes;

5.????? Under the supervision of the Director of Marine Resources, manage expenditure and activities addressing the aims of current projects implemented in partnership with national and international funding agencies and foundations, and continue to develop new project proposals in order to address future objectives of the section, according to the mandate and guidance provided by SPC member governments and administrations.

DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE

FINAL EVALUATIONS

Project Titles: Family Planning & Reproductive Health: Vanuatu & Kiribati (RH / FP)

Youth to Youth Peer Counselling in Promoting Reproductive & Sexual Health (Y2Y)

Evaluation Location: Port Vila, Efate & Tanna, Vanuatu

South Tarawa, North Tarawa, Abaiang, Maiana and Nonouti, Kiribati (2 sites only to be selected)

Supervisor: Jenny Whyte, Island Consulting, FSPI, Port Vila, Vanuatu

Professional Service: Final project Evaluations

Duration / Timing: August 2001

Project Background

In 1996, two local NGOs in the Pacific Island Nations of Kiribati and Vanuatu (FSP Kiribati and FSP Vanuatu) began work to design programmes that would effectively respond to country health statistics showing poor sexual and reproductive health indicators (high birth rates, IMR, MMR, LBW, high adolescent birth rates, high STI rates, high total fertility rates), low use of family planning methods and reports of local communities and youth requesting information to increase their awareness and knowledge of RH/FP. Working together with their UK-based partner, Just World Partners (JWP), and their regional secretariat, FSPI, a proposal was developed with the goal of improving the reproductive health of selected communities in Kiribati and Vanuatu. Towards the realisation of this goal, these objectives were set:

  • Increase the ability of community members targeted by the project activities to make informed decisions regarding RH and FP issues as a result of increased awareness and knowledge of RH and FP.
  • Improve access to and utilisation of comprehensive, high quality RH/FP care in rural areas which include not only FP services, but also maternal, infant, and adolescent health programmes and reproductive tract infections, STIs and HIV/AIDS services;
  • Design and implement an integrated, collaborative and comprehensive reproductive health programme in Kiribati. Fulfilling this objective will help the MOH and FP and FSPK to increase the quality and number of RH services provided in rural areas.

These objectives were to be met through tasks centred around community awareness and education activities, training of trainers, IEC development and distribution, KAP surveys, networking and collaborating with the MOH and other NGOs, service delivery improvement through better co-ordination and improved access, promoting youth development and monitoring and evaluation activities.

Under the guidance of JWP this proposal was submitted to the UK Lottery and has been generously supported since July of 1998 (due to delayed disposal of funds to Pacific countries the project did not actually begin delivering services until 1 November, 1998).

During this same time funding was being sought for another key Pacific priority area: youth, and to serve as match funding for the UK Lottery proposal. To supplement and strengthen the activities of the UK Lottery RH/FP project a Youth to Youth Peer Counselling program, focused on RH/SH/FP was submitted under the guidance of FSPI to NZODA. This project was funded with the goal of enabling adolescents to have improved access to sexual and RH information, services and products, and began in February of 1999. Two objectives lead the project:

  • Develop RH/FP counselling expertise and training services to be provided to the MOH and FP community leaders in South Tarawa, Kiribati;
  • Develop teams of youth peer counsellors in South Tarawa, Kiribati (15) and Port Vila, Vanuatu (20) to help inform other young people of RH/FP issues.

Evaluation Background

?

The three-year UK Lottery-funded Reproductive Health and Family Planning (RH / FP) project operates in two countries, Kiribati and Vanuatu, and is implemented by the two FSP offices in those countries (FSP Kiribati and FSP Vanuatu respectively). The project was documented to start in July 1998, however, a delay in the release of funds meant that activities did not start until November 1998. The original close date of the project was due to be July 2001, however, this was extended until October 2001.

The FSP Vanuatu (FSP V) programme delivers awareness and information about RH / FP and other related health priority issues to beneficiaries living in rural villages within two target areas on the islands of Santo and Tanna. The FSP Kiribati (FSPK) programme seeks to improve awareness and information at community level regarding RH / FP in Kiribati.

The New Zealand-funded Youth to Youth in Health (Y2Y) project began in each country in February 1999 with the aim of improving the RH / FP awareness and education of youth so that they might better be able to access services.

The final evaluations of both these projects are being carried out as specified in the original project documents. As the activities of both projects are so closely related a joint evaluation is planned. The Y2Y project is being evaluated a full six months before the due close of the project. However, the donors (NZODA) have been consulted and can see the value financially, logistically and programmatically of a joint review.

Review Aims

?

To externally review and critically evaluate the design of the above two projects with specific attention to the implementation details and impact on the target beneficiaries.

Objectives
