(work@...). Alan Tye Workplace:?? Charles Darwin Research Station, Santa Cruz Island, GALAPAGOS, Ecuador Closing date for acceptance of applications:?? May 28th, 2002. The Charles Darwin Foundation has been working for over 40 years for conservation of the biodiversity of the Galapagos Islands, where the Foundation¡¯s headquarters and main operational base, the Charles Darwin Research Station, is located. With a staff of over 160 people, the CDRS has the resources to carry out research in a wide range of applied science, such as ex-situ breeding, ecological monitoring, fisheries management and more. Its close relationship with the Galapagos National Park Service is a model of cooperation between scientists and managers. A 6 year, US$18.3M grant from the Global Environment Facility has been approved to carry out the Control of Invasive Species in the Galapagos Archipelago project. The project falls under the responsibility of the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment, and is managed by the United Nations Development Program. Under this project, a US$5.41M, 6 year subcontract has been signed with the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) to carry out certain elements of the work. As part of this sub-contract, $1.34M has been set aside, along with an additional $300k for infrastructure and equipment, to develop and apply the results of a permanent research program that aims to quantify and prevent negative introduced species (IS) effects on endemic and native species through the creation of predictive models of invasion and prescriptive models for the selection of control or eradication methodologies. Results from this work are to be fed into a Galapagos-wide Total Control Plan (TCP)1 which would help guide the IS control efforts of all institutions with a mandate to manage IS problems. Funding for work on IS will receive further support from the proceeds of a multi-million dollar trust fund, currently being established as part of the GEF project. -
