PARBICA Distance Education Project - Call for Proposals

The Pacific Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives
(PARBICA) is undertaking a project to establish a new programme at the
University of the South Pacific (USP), which will provide distance
education in archives, records and information management to multiple
Pacific island countries.

PARBICA's regular needs assessments demonstrate the near-absence of
qualified recordkeeping professionals in almost all our Pacific island
member institutions. Education and training are fundamental underpinnings
for improving management of records and archives in the Pacific islands
region.

PARBICA requires the expert assistance of a professional in archives and
records education for the first stage of this project.

We are looking for an individual(s) to develop the following over the
period from January to April 2002:

* Report to PARBICA Bureau, including analysis of requirements in the
Pacific region and recommendations on future course of action by PARBICA;
and
* Comprehensive proposal to USP for development of new programme.

It is expected that a successful candidate will have extensive skills and
experience in the following areas:

* Preparation and delivery of distance education programmes
* Professional knowledge of archives and records management
* Understanding of Pacific islands (or similar) context
* Proven track record of project delivery

The project will be funded through a seed grant to PARBICA from a project
sponsor.

Interested individuals are invited to contact PARBICA for further
information, and to provide a proposal outlining how they would intend
approaching the work and detailing their relevant experience by 31 October
2001.

Enquiries can be made to Evelyn Wareham, PARBICA Secretary General, on +644
499 5595 or email <evelyn.wareham@...>.

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 Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) makes up half of the SPC's Marine
Resources Division, with a staff complement of 20 in 3 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 fisheries
exploiting the region&#8217;s resources of tuna, billfish and related
species.&#8221;

The Principal Oceanic Fisheries Scientist is organisationally placed
within OFP Tuna Ecology and Biology Section, and is responsible to the SPC
Oceanic Fisheries Programme Coordinator for managing the activities of the

PROCFISH oceanic project component will build upon the highly-regarded
research and monitoring work undertaken on the main tuna species under the
7th EDF assisted South Pacific Regional Tuna Research and Monitoring (SPR
TRAMP) Programme, and will extend this to include more detailed analysis
and monitoring of bigeye and yellowfin tuna and by-catch species.

The post is based at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community Headquarters
in Nouméa but will involve considerable travel. The Principal Oceanic
Fisheries Scientist will manage the project to achieve the project goals
and objectives within budget and planned timeframes. The position will
involve the coordination of investigations of the relationships between
tuna fisheries and stocks and their physical and biological environment in
the Pacific Ocean, and the development of predictive population dynamics
models with application to the management of these stocks. The primary
clients of the project are the governments and the peoples of the island
members of the Pacific Community and the successful applicant will display
a strong awareness of their oceanic fisheries ecosystem management
information needs.

The post requires a self-starter with considerable initiative, an

the Pacific Ocean; integrate these relationships in spatial environmental
population dynamics models and investigate the predictive capacity of such
models at short (ENSO) to long- term (global warming) time scales.

2. Supervise biological studies of tuna and other species in the Warm Pool
ecosystem, the population dynamics of these species and the development of
ecosystem models.

3. Supervise investigations on the impact of fishing on the stocks of
non-target, associated and dependent species (by-catch).

4. Document the results of analyses for publication as scientific papers,
technical reports and country reports, and present findings to regional
and scientific meetings.

research experience.

Important

methodologies across most of the Pacific Community work area.

The post is based at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community Headquarters
in Nouméa but will involve considerable travel. The Reef Fisheries
Information Manager will work with the subproject leader to achieve
relevant project goals and objectives within budget and planned
timeframes. In collaboration with the other project staff, he/she will set
up computer programs and will manage the operation of a regional reef
fisheries database based on the collected information. He/she will also
participate to the collection, analysis and interpretation of the data
pertaining to the assessment of reef fishery resources in the context of
an integrated social and ecosystem approach to sustainable harvest and
management of reef fisheries in the region, and will develop systems that
enable appropriate access to project information and results. The primary
clients of the project are the governments and the peoples of the island
members of the Pacific Community and the successful applicant will display
a strong awareness of their coastal fisheries management information
needs.

The post requires a self-starter with considerable initiative, an
excellent knowledge of computer programming, preferably with experience of
fisheries in the Pacific Community region and experience in taking part in
appropriate applied research programmes. When making letters of
application for the post, candidates are advised to describe their
qualities in relation to the requirements of this and the previous
paragraph.


DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Reef Fisheries Information Manager is responsible to the Principal
Reef Fisheries Scientist, and the duties of the post are implemented in
