Enviro. Research Job - East-West Ctr, Hawaii

Research Positions In Environmental Studies

Established by the United States Congress in 1960 to promote mutual
understanding and cooperation among the governments and peoples of the
Asia-Pacific region including the United States, the East-West Center seeks
to foster the development of an Asia-Pacific community through cooperative
study, training and research. Center activities focus on the promotion of
shared regional values and the building of regional agencies and
arrangements; the promotion of economic growth with equity, stability, and
sustainability; and the management and resolution of critical regional as
well as common national-level political, economic, and social problems.
Issues addressed at the Center must have direct relevance for
US-Asia-Pacific understanding and relations.
The Organisation's interests in environmental studies include issues of
ecosystems and governance, climate variability and change, urban and
transnational atmospheric pollution, and strengthening the links between
environmental science and public policy on issues of regional importance.
The Center is seeking highly qualified candidates for two positions who will
be responsible for developing strategies to build cooperative projects with
active participation of senior researchers and private sector
representatives from Asia-Pacific and the United States.

Position 1. Fellow/Senior Fellow, Environmental Policy. Levels 12, 13, or 14
(Equivalent to Associate Professor or Professor).

The successful candidate should have a strong record of policy-relevant
research and publication on environmental policy and institutional issues of
broad significance to the Asia-Pacific region. Specific interests might
include energy related atmospheric pollution, climate change negotiations,
environmental assessment and public policy, and the roles institutions play
in causing and confronting global environmental changes.
Candidates with a graduate degree (or equivalent experience) in economics,
political science, or law or related fields with a specialization in
environmental issues are preferred.

Position 2. Fellow/Senior Fellow, Pollution. Levels 12, 13, or 14
(Equivalent to Associate Professor or Professor).

The successful candidate should have a strong record of policy relevant
research and publication in the areas of urban and related pollution and
development issues. Specific interests might include transnational
atmospheric pollution, and energy, water, transportation, waste-related
urban pollution and related public health and safety considerations in the
Asia-Pacific region. Qualifications should include quantitative research
and experience with urban and/or regional pollution models or environmental
aspects of urban planning and development.
Candidates with graduate degrees (or equivalent experience) in both science
and environmental policy/economics or closely related fields are preferred.

Researchers at the East-West Center should have a strong interest in the
Asia-Pacific region (including the United States), should have the capacity
to lead international teams in collaborative, interdisciplinary projects,
and should be able to communicate results and recommendations in a clear and
concise manner to academic as well as informed policy, public, and
private-sector audiences. Equally important is a record of success in
obtaining funding for research projects. Good communication skills in the
English language are necessary; fluency in an Asian language is an asset.

Applicants should have a Ph.D in a relevant field, plus at least four years
of post-PhD research experience, including one year of experience in Asia. A
Master's degree and ten years relevant research experience is considered as
equivalent to the Ph.D. Salary is negotiable commensurate with
qualifications and experience. The Center has an attractive package of
fringe benefits including a 25% cost of living allowance (COLA) and the
TIAA/CREF retirement program to which the institution contributes 16.53% of
base salary. Annual salary (including COLA) is as follows:

Level 12 (for PhD plus four or more years of post-PhD experience) starting
at c. $58,700
Level 13 (for PhD plus eight or more years of post-PhD experience) starting
At c. $69,800
Level 14 (for PhD plus twelve or more years of post-PhD experience) starting
at c. $82,500.

Initial appointment would be for a period of three years.

Applications must include:
A cover letter documenting relevant interests, qualifications, experience,
And future research plans

weeks depending on costs)
2. Forestry expert with previous experience in CDM or Carbon Credit issues

to involve or engage short-term consultants to advise on other specialist
areas such as:
5. Legal advice or draftsperson to evaluate legislation and other legal
issues (up to 1-2 weeks if required)
6. Economist to evaluate economic implications of options developed and
advise on allocation of benefits including Government of Vanuatu,
landowners, and project developers. (up to 1 week if required)

The Vanuatu Government is keen for this consultancy to be conducted as soon
