Pacific Vacancies: Announcement No. 2002 / 136 SPC - Oceanic Fisheries
Dear Colleagues,
Please find following Pacific Vacancies - Announcement No. 2002 / 136 For those who intend to apply: Good luck! Wilco Liebregts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ECO-CONSULT PACIFIC NOW HAS MORE THAN 1200 PACIFIC ISLAND SPECIALISTS ON OUR DATABASE. WE ALSO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS FROM WHERE WE CAN SOURCE EXPERTISE TO : Representatives of Governments and Administrations Routine Distribution No .: 02/26 FILE : STF 5/14/17 DATE : 23 August 2002 SUBJECT : OCEANIC FISHERIES PROGRAMME MANAGER 1. The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) invites applications for the position of Oceanic Fisheries Programme Manager. This is a three-year contract position. The closing date for applications will be 15 October 2002. 2. I would be grateful if Governments and Administrations could advertise this post widely without incurring any cost to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. 3. A statement setting out the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, experience and skills required for the position plus terms and conditions of employment is attached to this Recruitment Notice. Lourdes T. Pangelinan Director-General Attach. Original text : English SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY DUTY STATEMENT OCEANIC FISHERIES PROGRAMME MANAGER 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 Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) is an applied research programme making up half of the SPC??s Marine Resources Division, with a current staff complement of 22. Its mission is to provide member countries with the scientific information and advice necessary to rationally manage fisheries exploiting the region's resources of tuna, billfish and related species. Tuna are the region??s most valuable natural resource. Total catches in the western and central Pacific, a large proportion of which is comprised of the Exclusive Economic Zones of SPC members, have approached 2 million tonnes in recent years with a total catch value in excess of US$2 billion. Many SPC island members rely heavily on the tuna resource as a source of economic revenue through their own developing fishing industries, as providers of infrastructure to international fleets and through licence fees charged to foreign vessels fishing in their EEZs. It is generally recognised that, for many SPC island members, the tuna resource provides a major (and in some cases the only) opportunity for future economic development. The realisation of these opportunities is contingent upon the long-term conservation and sustainable utilisation of the resource. SPC members have, since the late 1970s, exerted sovereign rights over 200 nmi EEZs surrounding their countries. Since that time and with the rapid development of the regional tuna fishery that has taken place, the countries have begun to discharge their responsibilities regarding management of the fisheries in their EEZs. Many countries now have national tuna fishery management plans in their legislation that have formalised these responsibilities. Also, the countries co-operate in tuna fisheries management through the Forum Fisheries Agency. The main role of the OFP is to provide scientific support to these national and co-ordinated regional management processes using a client-based approach. With the agreement in September 2000 by all SPC members and most distant-water fishing nations to establish an international commission for the conservation and management of highly migratory fish stocks in the western and central Pacific Ocean, it is likely that the OFP will be requested to take on the additional task of providing scientific support to this new commission (without negatively impacting its current level of client services). This is likely to entail further broadening of the OFP work programme, e.g. into areas such as ecosystem impacts of fisheries and impacts on non-target species. An additional role of the OFP is to foster international collaboration and co-operation in tuna fisheries research and stock assessment. The region??s main scientific consultative body, the Standing Committee on Tuna and Billfish (SCTB) is actively supported and co-ordinated by the OFP. The Programme addresses its objectives through the activities of three sections, with the support of a small administrative group. The Statistics and Monitoring Section of the OFP is responsible for the collection, compilation and dissemination of tuna fisheries data in the western and central Pacific Ocean, including the maintenance of regional databases, the supervision of port sampling and observer programmes, and active support for the Standing Committee on Tuna and Billfish (SCTB), the region??s main scientific consultative body, which includes participants from the region??s coastal states as well as fishing nations. The Stock Assessment and Modelling Section of the OFP undertakes analyses of fisheries and biological data, using models of the dynamics of exploited tuna stocks in the western and central Pacific Ocean, to estimate the historical patterns of stock abundance and the impacts of the fisheries. The results of this work are used to develop recommendations for management of the fisheries at both the national and regional levels. The Tuna Ecology and Biology Section has as its primary purpose research on tuna and related species biology and ecology, to improve biological parameter estimates for stock assessment, to better understand the functioning of the ecosystem which supports the tuna fishery, and to assess the impact of fishing on species and ecosystem. RESPONSIBLE TO: Director, Marine Resources Division. Role of the position The OFP Manager provides leadership and overall direction to the Programme, as well as having a hands-on involvement in all aspects of the Programme??s work. Reporting directly to this position are the following, with all OFP staff ultimately answerable to the OFP Manager through this structure: ?h Principal Fisheries Scientist (Stock Assessment) ?h Principal Fisheries Scientist (Statistics) ?h Principal Fisheries Scientist (Biology and Ecology) ?h Programme Administrator ?h Programme Assistant. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ?? Co-ordinate the activities of the Oceanic Fisheries Programme and, in consultation with SPC member country focal points, and other regional or international agencies and programmes, develop an adaptive work programme which addresses the priorities of Pacific Community members within the scope of its mission statement. In maintaining this work programme, the OFP Manager shall: (a) provide the necessary scientific leadership and oversight to ensure that the scientific work of the Programme is maintained at an internationally recognised standard; (b) ensure that the range of work of the Programme is adequate to provide the best available scientific advice on the regional status of stocks of target tuna species, and to develop a better understanding of the status of tuna fishery-associated species and ecosystems; (c) provide hands-on contributions to the scientific research activities of the Programme. ?? Develop, negotiate and sustain research partnerships between the Programme and other international and national agencies that are crucial to the achievement of Programme objectives. ?? Identify, develop and maintain funding to implement the work programme and administer and report on the intergrated Programme budget to funding sources, to the Director, Marine Resources Division, and to SPC governing councils. ?? Supervise the preparation of accurate narrative and financial reports on particular OFP activities for regular transmission to the relevant donor agencies. ?? Co-ordinate the preparation of all documentation relating to the activities and outputs of the Programme for the information of member countries and regional fora, and present reports on the progress and results of the Programme as required by the Director of Marine Resources Division. ?? Perform such other duties as the Director, Marine Resources division may require. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE ??

It currently has a staff of more than 230. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and French being the working languages. The goal of the Pacific Action for Health Project (PAHP) is ?¡ìto contribute to the reduction of the occurance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within the populations of the Pacific Islands?¡§. This project implements a wide range of national and community level activities in four Pacific Island countries. These are currently identified as Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu. The project specifically targets young people (10-19 years of age) in primarily urban areas, addressing a single NCD risk factor. In addition, the project will undertake a number of regional activities, drawing on the strengths of other organisations active in the health sector of the Pacific region. A characteristic feature of the project is its multi-disciplinary approach.
