SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY

DUTY STATEMENT


COMMUNITY FISHERIES OFFICER


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 Community Fisheries Section (CFS) is one of six sections that makes up
the Coastal Fisheries Programme. The CFS currently consists of two
professional staff and a project assistant. The objective of the CFP
Community Fisheries Section is to: "encourage the participation of coastal
fishing communities, particularly women, in the management of subsistence
and artisanal fisheries and to allow them to benefit from regional and
national fisheries assessment, development and management activities".

Under the supervision of the Community Fisheries Adviser, the Community
Fisheries Officer implements technical assistance projects and training
workshops requested by SPC Pacific Island member governments and
administrations, and assists the Community Fisheries Adviser in
coordinating regional approaches to community fisheries issues. As with
most SPC professional posts the work is bi-phasic. A good part of the work
entails travelling to requesting countries, and implementing an agreed
work programme, often in very remote and isolated locations, including
aboard fishing vessels. The rest of the work is based at the SPC Noumea
headquarters, compiling information and preparing reports and resource
materials.

Because of the remoteness of some locations, the Community Fisheries
Officer needs to be able to operate independently where necessary to meet
the objectives of the specific project. When in the field, the Community
Fisheries Officer works with a range of people from different cultural and
educational backgrounds, including local fishers, processors, Government
fisheries department staff and politicians. Good communication and
negotiation skills and patience are required, especially when problems are
encountered during a project.

The post requires a self-starter with experience of implementing workshops
and training courses, and experience with reef fisheries in the Pacific
Community region.


DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Assist with the development and implementation of the workplan of the
Community Fisheries Section.

2. Work closely with SPC member countries to develop programmes of support
to the small-scale fisheries sector, particularly in regard to the
involvement of women. This will include the provision of technical
information and advice on development and management of subsistence and
artisanal fisheries, the delivery of practical training workshops to meet
specific requirements, and the development of resource material to support
this work.

3. In collaboration with the Community Fisheries Adviser, assist in the
production of reports and publications arising from the work of the
Section.

4. In liaison with the Coordinator of the Women in Fisheries Special
Interest Group, gather and collate materials for inclusion into the
Group's Bulletin, assuming responsibility for the Bulletin??s timely
production on a biannual basis ( coastfish/ News/ WIF/
wif.htm).


5. Collaborate with other members of staff of SPC in allied fields. In
particular, work in close consultation with other sections of the SPC
Coastal Fisheries Programme to ensure balanced and equitable support to
member countries in the field of fisheries. In addition, work in
consultation with other sections of SPC, and other organisations, on
cross-cutting issues such as health and nutrition, gender issues as
relating to fisheries, and marine environmental issues.

6. Perform such other duties as required by the Community Fisheries
Adviser or the Director of Marine Resources.


QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Very important

1. A university degree or equivalent qualification or experience in an
appropriate subject.

2. Experience including:

?? Work in the Pacific Community region.
?? Practical experience in fishing and/or fisheries post-harvest
activities
?? Experience of working with women in the fisheries sector
?? Experience of working with small-scale coastal fisheries

3. Demonstrated ability in developing collaborative work programmes and
planning project budgets, and writing reports on activities.

4. Willingness to travel regularly to undertake assignments in member
countries and territories served by SPC.

5. Fluency, spoken and written, in one of the official languages of the
Secretariat of the Pacific Community.

Important

6. Experience in the development of training/resource material suitable
for community-level use would be an advantage.

7. A working knowledge of both of SPC's official languages would be
advantageous, and ability to speak one of the Pacific Island region's
approximately 1,110 other languages will also be taken into account.


SALARY AND ALLOWANCE

The starting salary for this position will be SDR 3,064 per month, which
is equivalent to CFP 510,125 francs per month in the SPC PO 6 salary
grade. In addition, an Establishment Grant will be payable to
non-residents of New Caledonia. SPC emoluments are not subject to income
tax in New Caledonia at the present time. The international currency
exchange rate at the time of writing is approximately USD 1.00 = 142
francs CFP.


TENURE

The appointment will be for a period of three years in the first instance,
subject to a one-year probationary period. The contract may be renewed for
a further three years subject to performance and continued funding
availability.


DUTY STATION

Noumea, New Caledonia.


ACCOMMODATION

An SPC-owned house or flat will be made available, based on the following
deductions from basic salary:

2 bedrooms - 11.5%
3 bedrooms - 12.5%
4 bedrooms - 15.0%

Housing is expensive in Noumea and, despite these standard salary
deductions, the cost of housing is heavily subsidised.


LEAVE

Leave will accrue at the rate of 2.5 working days per calendar month of
active duty.


SICK LEAVE


Thirty working days per annum.


MEDICAL BENEFITS

The SPC??s Staff Medical Insurance, to which the appointee will contribute

Level 11, 12, or 13 (Equivalent to Assistant or Associate Professor).

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.

Research in Population and Health Studies focuses on understanding
how demographic and health factors interact with social, economic,

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. Candidates
who wish to be considered for a position at Levels 12 or 13 should
demonstrate a record of success in obtaining funding for research
projects. Good communication skills in the English language are

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:

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.
