SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY

DUTY STATEMENT


SENIOR FISHERIES SCIENTIST (MODELLER)



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 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. The PROCFish oceanic project component will build upon the
highly regarded research and monitoring work undertaken on the main
species under the 7th EDF assisted South Pacific Regional Tuna Resource
Assessment and Monitoring Project (SPRTRAMP).

The post is based at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community
Headquarters in Nouméa, but may involve considerable travel. The Senior
Fisheries Scientist will develop and implement models of the population
dynamics of tunas, billfish and associated species exploited in the
WCPO, to produce assessments of the status of these stocks and the
impact of fishing on them.

The post requires a self-starter with considerable initiative, good
knowledge of oceanic fisheries in the Pacific Community region, and
highly developed numerical modelling skills. 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

1. Participate in the development of models of the population dynamics
of tuna, billfish and related species exploited in the Western and
Central Pacific, in collaboration with OFP staff. The principal model
currently used by the OFP is a size-based, age-structured,
spatially-explicit model, and further model development is expected in
this area.

2. Use these models to develop assessments of the status of the stocks
and the impacts of fishing, and to evaluate the effectiveness of
proposed management actions in relation to stated objectives.

3. Document the results of analyses for publication in the form of
scientific papers, SPC Technical Reports, country reports or other
appropriate forms of publication.

4. Other such duties in pursuit of the objectives of the PROCFISH
project as directed.







SPC/Recruitment Notice No. 01/36

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

 A PhD or equivalent in quantitative fisheries science or
related discipline, preferrably with considerable post-doctoral
experience.  Experience in the application of population models
to fisheries management problems.  Extensive knowledge of
mathematical and statistical methods as applied in modelling renewable
resources.  Highly developed skills in computer programming, in
particular using the C++ language.  Written and oral
communication skills of a high order.  Ability to work
effectively in a team-based, culturally diverse environment.  At
