The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) invites applications for the new position of Team Leader - Pacific Action for Health, for an initial contract period of two years and two months. 2. I would be grateful if Governments and Administrations could advertise this post as widely as possible without incurring any cost to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. 3. A statement setting out the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, experience and skills required for the position plus conditions of employment is attached to this Recruitment Notice. Lourdes Pangelinan Director General Attach. Original text: English SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY DUTY STATEMENT TEAM LEADER - PACIFIC ACTION FOR HEALTH NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROJECT BACKGROUND The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is a technical advisory, training and research organisation serving 22 Pacific Island countries and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. SPC currently has more than 230 staff members. It is a bilingual organisation, with English and French as its official working languages. The Pacific Action for Health project, which the Government of Australia funds through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), has a budget of A$ 3.75 million over four years. The project was launched at SPC on 28 August 2000. Pacific Action for Health is a regional project, based in four countries: Tonga, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Kiribati. Its purpose is to create an environment conducive to health by increasing the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to address risk factors for non-communicable ("lifestyle") diseases (NCDs). It will target young people, using a preventive, comprehensive, health promotion approach and working through local non-government and community organisations as well as with national government agencies. It is intended that a broad range of outputs and activities will deliver a reduction in the adoption and development of NCD risk factors amongst young people, create government policies and community environments which support healthy lifestyles and improve national capacity to engage in health promotion activities. CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT The project was designed to have a one year inception phase, during which research and extensive consultation were to be used to determine the details of project focus, entry points and structure with stakeholders in the partner countries. A detailed workplan of activities would be produced. This was to be followed by a three year implementation phase. A revised project design, using information collected through the project during the inception phase and based on consultation with community and government stakeholders in partner countries, will soon be undertaken by an independent team of experts. It is to be finalised by June 2002. In Kiribati and Vanuatu some inception phase tasks have been completed and it has been agreed the entry point of the project will be alcohol as an NCD risk. Local non-government organisations have been selected as project partners and project activities will commence in early 2002. For Tonga and the Solomon Islands, the Inception Phase is about to begin. The single risk factor to be addressed by the project will be determined in consultation with the partner governments and other stakeholders, using information derived from research and baseline KAP surveys. THE PROJECT TEAM The project implementation team will consist of six long-term staff: the team leader and his/her deputy, who will both be based in Noumea, and an in-country Project Coordinator in each of the partner countries.

Pacific Vacancies - 2002
ecoconsult
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDear Colleague, ? As Fiji is located just west of the International Dateline I seize the opportunity to be one of the first in 2002 to wish you and those near you the best of health and happiness ¨C and may you find this year the job you¡¯ve always wanted ¨C and ¨C more importantly perhaps - the satisfaction that should come with it! ? Now in its 4th year, Pacific Vacancies is close to the 1000th subscriber milestone. The vacancies are directly sent to some 50 countries, including all Pacific Island Countries, although they reach a much larger audience as many subscribers forward them to friends and colleagues, distribute them on local networks, or place them on websites. ? In 2001 the service distributed 175 job ads, which reflects an increase of 70% to those sent out in 2000. ?Since mid-2001 we have started to distribute vacancies from The University of the South Pacific, which is perhaps the single largest regional employer in the Pacific. We are also very pleased to receive increasingly more advertisements from organisations and institutions in the northern Pacific.? Also, we are covering an increasingly wider range of sectors, and have successfully sought to distribute job ads in the health sector in the region. ? It was our intention from the beginning to provide a wider distribution of vacancies in the Pacific region, in particular to those residing in Pacific Island Countries where access to the WWW is suboptimal, and where the conventional means of job advertising have their limitations. Although details are hard to come by, we have been reliably informed recently that most Pacific Island residents that apply for any of the jobs do refer to Pacific Vacancies as their first and main source of information. We are very pleased to see the effect of the service. ? We very much appreciate your support, and look forward to continue Pacific Vacancies in 2002, 2003, and the years thereafter. And of course, and comments and suggestions are very ¨C and always ¨C welcome. ? Cheers! ? Wilco Liebregts ? |

It currently has a staff of more than 230. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and French being the working languages. The Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) makes up half of the SPC's Marine Resources Division, with a staff complement of 20, in three sections covering fishery statistics, stock assessment and ecosystem aspects of Pacific Island oceanic fisheries, particularly skipjack, yellowfin, albacore and bigeye tuna. Its overall mission is: "To provide member countries with the scientific information and advice necessary to rationally manage the fisheries exploiting the region’s resources of tuna, billfish and associated species". The Senior Fisheries Scientist (Modeller) is organisationally placed within the OFP Stock Assessment and Modelling section, and is responsible to the Principal Fisheries Scientist for the development of models of the population dynamics of tuna, billfish and related species in the WCPO.

WE ALSO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS FROM WHERE WE CAN SOURCE EXPERTISE. ? ? Position: Brown Treesnake Rapid Response Team Coordinator (Information Management Specialist) ? Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. has a technical services support contract with the US Geological Survey's? (USGS) Midcontinent Ecological Science Center that provides support to the Brown Treesnake Program.? A new interagency program, The Brown Treesnake Rapid Response Team, is being initiated by the USGS and supported by the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs to address issues relating to extralimital introductions of the brown treesnake.? It has caused irreparable damage to the island of Guam. The snake is responsible for the destruction of Guam's ecological community through the extirpation of most of the island's birds, bats, and lizards, impacts the agricultural community through the loss of domestic stock, causes millions of dollars in power outages and associated lost revenue, and is a threat to human health.? As a result, containment of snakes on Guam and prevention of establishment elsewhere is a high priority. ? The team will provide a brown treesnake detection resource to island governments where invasion is highly likely.? The team coordinator will be based in Guam and is? responsible to the greater ecological community in facilitating the discovery as well as ultimate eradication of incipient populations on US associated islands of the Pacific.? Team actions will include rapid deployment to areas of credible snake reports.? Nighttime visual searching, daytime trapping, and rodent prey reduction will be used to capture snakes and delimit new brown treesnake colonizations. ? The team coordinator will develop an awareness program to educate residents of high-risk islands on the brown treesnake problem.? Efforts designed by the coordinator in cooperation with local brown treesnake control programs may include education workshops and distribution of materials such as posters, CDs, pamphlets, etc. The goal of the outreach component will be to heighten snake awareness, particularly with those working in the cargo shipment/handling industry, to ensure those likely to encounter BTS are able to respond accordingly (i.e., capture and/or kill any snake sighted). Developing relationships with recipient island governments will be vital to facilitate communication of snake sightings. ? The coordinator is expected to arrange for the necessary interagency cooperation and prepare any agreements with either governmental or non-governmental agencies which will need to be in place before deployment of the Team to snake sightings.? A high degree of coordination and cooperation is expected with USGS, USDA, USFWS, CNMI Division of Fish and Wildlife, other US associated island governments and the travel industry. Volunteer snake searchers will be trained and deployed as available. ? For the snake searching team, the coordinator will be responsible for assisting recruiting and training team members.? Protocols will be developed for response and deployment by the coordinator.? Nighttime snake searches will be led by the coordinator. ? For the initial year, the coordinator's time will be devoted to the development of the Rapid Response Team; however, future duties will include contributing to the research projects developed by the USGS brown treesnake program.? The program focuses on biological research in support of activities for snake control and containment, including but not limited to, population biology, reproduction, trapping and barrier technologies, snake behavior and activity, and physiology. ? Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S./B.A. with training in biology, ecology, communication or related field.? Demonstrated skill in effective communication and ability to work with people of diverse backgrounds. Ability to coordinate with several different government and non-governmental entities. Willingness to perform visual searches to capture snakes in tropical forests at night.? Basic skills in reptile identification desirable.? Must have proper credentials (US citizen, green card, work authorization, work visa, etc.) to work in the US. ? Location:? Position will be based in Guam; however, candidate should be willing and able to travel several times a year to snake sighting locations.? Travel will inherently be unpredictable and with little advance notice. ? Compensation: Johnson Controls world Services offers this full time position the following: salary of $39k plus an excellent benefit package. They include: first day health, dental, and vision coverage; flexible spending plan; two weeks vacation; one week sick leave; ten paid holidays; 3% contributory 401k; matching gift program; administrative leave (jury duty, witness duty, bereavement, military leave and emergency); and educational assistance. ?
