DUTY STATEMENT


DEVELOPER / PROGRAMMER (PRISM)
(12 month contract)



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 Developer/Programmer (PRISM) will be located within the Statistics
Programme and will report to the Statistician. The Statistics Programme
is part of the SPC's Social Resources Division and has five permanent
staff. Its overall goal is to support national and regional policy and
decision making processes by helping to improve the range and quality of
official statistics.

The occupant of this position will take the lead role in developing an
Internet-based information system for the Pacific Islands Countries and
Territories (PICTs) who are members of SPC. PRISM will be a closely
linked set of national websites, to be developed in close consultation
with PICT national statistics offices (NSOs) and other national and
regional agencies. The system will incorporate a statistical database
with a wide range of key economic, social, environmental and cultural
indicators, but will also provide a platform for storing and
disseminating a very wide range of other types of information about the
region. In the latter part of his/her contract the Developer/Programmer
will be working with and transferring skills to the Database Manager
(PRISM) who will be recruited in early 2003. Detail of the PRISM project
can be found at the draft website , including a
full set of working papers presented to a regional Technical Meeting
held in April 2002.

This post is based at the SPC Headquarters in Noum¨¦a but will almost
certainly involve some travel. The Developer/Programmer will work with
the Statistician to achieve relevant project goals and objectives within
budget and planned timeframes. In collaboration with other Programme
staff and representatives of NSOs and other agencies, he/she will
develop a series of interlinked national websites, featuring a core
statistical database and a range of other information and features. The
Developer/Programmer will also play a lead role in providing
Noum¨¦a-based training in Internet website development to staff from PICT
NSOs. 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
information needs and technological capacity.

The post requires a highly motivated professional with considerable
initiative, an excellent knowledge of Internet-based programming, and
with experience of official statistics, preferably in the Pacific
Community region. When applying for the post, candidates are advised to
describe their qualities and experience in relation to the requirements
outlined above.


DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Developer/Programmer (PRISM) is responsible to the Statistician, and
the duties of the post are implemented in consultation and with the
advice of the Statistician as appropriate. The duty statement of the
Developer/Programmer is as follows:

1. Design a highly functional set of linked Internet websites,
incorporating national themes and content determined in consultation
with NSOs and other agencies, and meeting the aims and timing outlined
in the PRISM project plan.

SPC/Recruitment Notice No. 02/15
Page 2



2. Arrange the transfer to PRISM of data from a range of sources
including the existing SPC SPESS database and, in consultation with
NSOs and other agencies, develop a strategy for Internet-based updating
by NSOs of national website components of PRISM.

3. Organise and conduct a series of short-term workshops in Noum¨¦a for
developing Internet website and related skills of key staff from PICT
NSOs and other agencies.

4. Provide selected in-country research and training to identify and
resolve any PRISM-related problems faced by NSOs in developing their
national websites.

5. Assist with the recruitment of a PRISM database manager (this will be
a designated Pacific Islander position).

6. Collaborate closely with staff of other SPC programmes and other key
institutions (national, regional and international) to ensure
compatability and integration between PRISM and other websites
incorporating information for the Pacific region.

Alan Tye

Invasive Species Control Plan Strategist (ref: ISCP.02)

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.

- Responsibilities

1. Lead CDF processes of policy analysis, planning and evaluation for I.S. control, mitigation and restoration, ensuring coordination within CDF departments and between CDF and GNPS.

3. Manage for CDF the component of the GEF project dealing with IS research and prioritisation.
4. Develop, in collaboration with CDF and GNPS colleagues, a practical prioritisation system for IS research and management, that integrates a diversity information on the invasive species themselves, their impacts, endangered species, biodiversity values of habitats and localities, and social and economic considerations.
5. Lead the implementation, evaluation and refinement of the prioritisation system, the compilation of data required by the system, and training in its use for personnel of CDF, GNPS, the Ecuadorian Agricultural Health Service (SESA) and other relevant institutions.
6. Coordinate the development of an overall IS research strategy and plan, that responds to the results of the prioritisation and monitor its implementation. Similarly assist the Park to prepare an overall IS management strategy and plan.
