AQUACULTURE ASSOCIATE Needed

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 ICLARM’s 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:
