Scientific Secretary - Vacancy
The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO), based in
Tromsø in northern Norway, has an opening for a Scientific Secretary from
January 2013. The Scientific Secretary is responsible for planning,
coordinating and participating in the work of the NAMMCO Scientific Committee
and its associated Working Groups. A large part of the work will require report
writing and also editing and collating scientific publications.
This position requires an experienced scientist with a good
background in wildlife or fisheries biology. Research experience in or
knowledge of marine mammal biology, including knowledge of survey methods and
population biology in the context of sustainable management, is highly
desirable. Participation in scientific projects of direct relevance to NAMMCO
is encouraged where feasible. A higher degree is preferred, and excellent
spoken and written English are essential. A working knowledge of a Scandinavian
language is desirable but not essential. The person filling this position
should be prepared to travel extensively for meetings within the member
countries for up to some several weeks each year (e.g. 10 weeks), have good
leadership qualities and be able to work confidently alone as well as in a

flexibility.

ICSC-UN professional scale, with generous private pension scheme, as well as
assistance in relocation expenses, and 6 weeks annual vacation with paid travel
to the home country annually if desired. The initial appointment will be for 3
years on contract, and may be renewable.
