Programme Officer (1 post)
Role
Stationed at IGES, the Programme Officer will support the TSU Head and
carry out scientific and
technological services under the NGGIP. The primary focus of the
Programme is the development of
international methodologies for the preparation of national greenhouse
gas inventories and
encouragement of the use of these methodologies. The Programme is
managed to ensure that relevant
Governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations are
adequately engaged, while
maintaining the highest scientific integrity and technical quality. The
development of methodologies and
good practice guidance in inventory preparation are normally undertaken
by experts outside the TSU
with particular scientific/technical knowledge. The TSU is responsible
for quality assurance of the
products as well as the process.
Programme Officers comprise a team of highly professional individuals,
who undertake a wide range
of scientific and technological duties as part of the Programme,
including collection, management and
dissemination of information related to GHG inventories.
Specific requirements
Successful candidates will need to have expertise in Land use, Land-use
Change and Forestry
(LULUCF) with studies and/or professional experience in forestry,
biology, ecology or related subjects
and/or expertise in inventory methodologies in general. Familiarity with

Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and the IPCC Good
Practice Guidance and
Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is a
prerequisite for the post.
Knowledge of the IPCC and UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change)
processes will be an advantage.
The Programme Officer will be responsible for, in particular, the NGGIP
Task on “Factoring out direct
human-induced effects on changes in carbon stocks and emissions of
greenhouse gases and removals
by sinks from those caused by indirect human-induced or natural effects,
and past practices in
forests”. In addition, a wide variety of work will be called for. This
involves other scientific and nonscience
applications. If a candidate other than a LULUCF expert is selected, the
duties will be
specified, accordingly.
Performance will be measured by the quality of contribution to the
team’s goals and well being and
direct contribution to the success of the Programme. The ability to
operate as a member of a team and
independently are crucial elements in successfully filling the position.
The demands of the position in
terms of time and effort are high.
General responsibilities
1. Deal with scientific and technological aspects of the IPCC NGGIP
Programme that currently
develops methodological and technical guidance used by governments in
the preparation of
their national greenhouse gas inventories.
2. Carry out the activities necessary to complete and deliver products
under the Programme. This
responsibility includes assisting in organising IPCC expert meetings,
workshops and other
meetings in various parts of the world; preparing, editing and
publishing technical and policyrelevant
documents; collecting, collating and managing relevant information and
data sets,
managing international government and expert review procedures;
providing oral and written
reports to meetings under the auspices of the IPCC and the UNFCCC and
other relevant
bodies as necessary; assisting in the preparation of the work plan and
budget, budget
management and other duties as required.

and technical literature and identifying emerging policy-relevant needs
within the UNFCCC
framework.
4. Coordinate closely, as appropriate, with counterparts in the relevant
international organisations.
5. Represent IPCC and the Programme and provide technical guidance and
information at
meetings of relevant international forums and organisations.

ecosystems, and/or inventory methodologies for other sectors and
cross-cutting subjects like
uncertainty management, QA/QC and verification.
3. Familiarity with national greenhouse gas inventory compilation and
development.
4. Excellent ability to write and speak English.
5. Good computer skills and knowledge in MS Office tools.
6. Capacity to carry out tasks to completion with enthusiasm, initiative
and minimum supervision.
7. Developed communication and interpersonal skills including the
ability to produce high quality
written material and effectively represent the organisation when
required.
8. Perception and judgement in dealing with complex issues and a
demonstrated ability to
prioritise and deliver agreed outcomes with limited supervision.

a demonstrated
commitment to continuous improvement and self development.

SENIOR AQUACULTURE ASSOCIATE

(HATCHERY PRODUCTION OF SEA CUCUMBERS)

?

ICLARM invites applications from aquaculture scientists with expertise in larval rearing of marine organisms to produce juvenile sea cucumbers for the implementation of restocking experiments in New Caledonia. The appointment will be within ICLARM's Coastal and Marine Resources Research Program and will be based at 滨颁尝础搁惭’蝉 Pacific Office, at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Noumea, New Caledonia, under a joint contract with SPC.

?

Background: ICLARM conducts research on the sustainable use and conservation of living aquatic resources for the benefit of the poor in developing countries. One of ICLARM's activities under the Coastal and Marine Resources Research Program is the development of responsible methods for restocking and stock enhancement of tropical marine invertebrates to restore and then increase the productivity of inshore fisheries. Previous research by ICLARM indicates that fisheries for the tropical sea cucumber, sandfish (Holothuria scabra), appear to have great potential for restocking and stock enhancement. ICLARM has developed methods for the routine production of juvenile sandfish in hatcheries and so the challenge now is to identify the optimal ways to release the cultured juveniles in the wild so that they survive in high proportions. The project also aims to culture the black teatfish (Holothuria nobilis) to enable releases of the juveniles in the Loyalty Islands.

?

The position: ICLARM is seeking to appoint an experienced aquaculturist for twenty-one (21) months to produce the thousands of juvenile sandfish needed for the field experiments designed to identify the optimal release methods for sandfish and back teatfish. The project is presently funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and the three Provinces of New Caledonia, and gains support from the SPC. Support available to this position will include the use of hatchery facilities at an aquaculture station north of Noumea and a full-time technical assistant. The position requires close collaboration, in the French language, with other users of the hatchery. It also involves daily commuting of up to one hour from Noumea (although rental accommodation closer to the hatchery may be available).

?

Skills and Qualifications: The Senior Aquaculture Associate is expected to have broad experience in the mass-production of juvenile marine organisms and skills in algal culture. An MSc or appropriate tertiary qualifications, ability to work effectively in collaboration with other organisations and as part of a team in an isolated location, good supervision, communication and reporting skills, fluency in English (ICLARM's working language), and ability to speak French are also essential. Extensive experience in the commercial aquaculture sector would be an advantage.

?

The basic salary for this position is within the range of AUD$42,000 - $49,000 tax free. Other benefits for the position are described in the ICLARM Personnel Policies for Regionally Recruited Staff. ICLARM is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes all applications regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religious persuasion or political beliefs.? Applications from women and developing country professionals are especially encouraged.

?

Interested candidates should send their application with current curriculum vitae and the names of three (3) professional referees (including telephone, fax, and e-mail address, if available) before 15 November 2002 to: The Human Resources Manager ICLARM – The World Fish Center Jalan Batu Maung, Batu Maung, 11960 Bayan Lepas, Penang, Malaysia

STATISTICS ADVISER/TRAINER
 
 
BACKGROUND
 
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 SPC Statistics Programme has been providing statistical assistance
to the member countries and territories for over twenty-five years. This
assistance has concentrated on statistical training and technical advice
(through advisory missions), but has also included the provision of an
information service and the co-ordination of statistical activities
throughout the region. The staff of the Programme is at present: the
Statistician; two Statistics Adviser/Trainers; the Statistical Research
Officer; and the Programme Assistant. This will be expanded in the near
future to include the positions of Internet Programmer/Developer and
Database Manager associated with development of the Internet-based
Pacific Region Information System (PRISM) The Programme has a number of
courses designed to provide different levels of statistical training to
staff members of National Statistics Offices
(NSOs) and related agencies of SPC members. Course content ranges from
basic statistical concepts through to the principles and practices of
survey design, conduct and processing, and extends to data analysis and
report writing. Increasingly, courses are being adapted to demonstrate
the practical benefits of utilising computer applications in the
production of official statistics. The Programme also develops
specialised training courses and organises workshops for emerging topics
of relevance to the region, as well as providing a wide range of
technical advisory services requested by member countries and
territories. Most Programme activities are conducted in-country,
requiring staff members to travel quite extensively throughout the
region.

are essential.
 
4.    Broad experience with official statistical activities, preferably
including areas of social statistics as well as the design and conduct
of surveys.
 
5.    Strong communication skills, with the associated ability to
recognise
and allow for cultural sensitivities.
 
6.    Highly developed organisational skills.
 
7.    Fluency in English is essential due to the nature of most of the

Fiji.

DUTY STATEMENT

TEAM LEADER/PARTICIPATORY EXTENSION SPECIALIST


BACKGROUND

The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an independent
intergovernmental agency providing technical advice, assistance,
training and research in the service of 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.

One of the objectives of the SPC Agriculture Programme is to support the
development of national capacities in agriculture extension and the
promotion of sustainable agriculture development. We are recruiting a
Team Leader/ Participatory Extension Specialist for the 'Development of
Sustainable Agriculture in the Pacific (DSAP)' project that is funded by
the European Union.

The DSAP project is a 4-year regional project for 11 Pacific Island
countries and territories including Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati,
New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu,
Vanuatu, and Wallis and Futuna. It is being implemented by the
Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). The objective of the project
is to improve food security and livelihood of target farm families. The
objective will be achieved through building the capacity of national
partners i.e. Ministry of Agriculture, NGOs, private sector to use
participatory methods to identify farmer problems and develop strategies
to solve these problems through on-farm demonstrations, training and
other extension methods. Extension communications will be enhanced
through provision of equipment, short training and technical advice.
National activities will be developed and undertaken through national
steering committees composed of representatives of national partner
organisations. The project will help the countries link with SPC and
other sources of information and technical advice. This is an exciting
and challenging project working in both English and French speaking
countries and territories that will be largely driven by national and
local need but assisted and coordinated though the SPC office in Suva,
Fiji.

To be eligible for this position applicants must be citizens of a
European Union country or an African, Caribbean, or Pacific (ACP)
country that are signatories to the Lomé IV Convention. Applications
received from citizens of countries other than those stated above will
not be considered.

SPC office in Suva, Fiji, with 25%-50% of the time on duty travel in the
region.

1.    Overall administrative and technical responsibility for the
project
including management of staff, development of national and regional work
plans, reporting to SPC and EU, and financial management.

2.    Provide training, guidance, and technical advice to national
partners
in participatory methodologies for problem identification at the farmer
and community level and determining both the causes of problems and
extension strategies to solve the technical causes of farmer problems.

3.    Facilitate the formation and functioning of the national steering
committees in each of the participating countries for the development of
a national log frame and work plans, development of MOUs with
participating countries, and implementation of DSAP training and field
activities. SPC/Recruitment Notice No. 02/27 Page 2



4.    In collaboration with national partners facilitate a rapid scaling
up
in the identification, promotion, and adoption of sustainable
agricultural technologies that will have a measurable impact on farm
families.

system
to track project progress at a national and regional level using the
project indicators and that ensures the project reports to the EU on a
timely basis. This includes six-monthly technical reports and annual
financial reports.

Assistants (GREAs), Research and Extension Associates (REAs) and other
nationally based staff. Liaise with universities on the degree
