The purpose of this broad engagement is to help ensure the survival and recovery of this critically endangered population. The total population is estimated at about 130 individuals, with only 25-35 reproductive females. Little is yet known about its breeding grounds or migration routes but it has been established that the main feeding grounds lie off north-eastern Sakhalin Island, in the Russian Far East.<br><br>Particular concerns have been raised about the potential impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration and production on the Sakhalin Shelf. Therefore, since 2004, IUCN has worked with Sakhalin Energy Investment Company (Sakhalin Energy) in order to provide advice and recommendations on how that company can minimize risks and mitigate impacts associated with its Sakhalin II operations on the whales and their habitat. An important element of this broad initiative is the Western Gray Whale Advisory Panel (WGWAP), a long-term independent scientific advisory panel convened by IUCN in October 2006. This Panel has helped Sakhalin Energy establish the acoustic monitoring and mitigation programme for western gray whales during the 4-D Seismic Survey and demonstrated the value of this kind of interactive relationship with the oil and gas industry as a way of delivering better conservation outcomes. In part because of the WGWAP process, a better understanding of the biology and status of western gray whales is helping to shape industrial development on and near Sakhalin and a constructive dialogue with the many stakeholders has been established. <br><br>Sakhalin Energy is a consortium of companies including the following shareholders: Gazprom 50%, Shell Sakhalin Holdings B.V. (Shell) 27.5%, Mitsui Sakhalin Holdings B.V. (Mitsui) 12.5% and Diamond Gas Sakhalin, (Mitsubishi) 10%.<br><br>The WGWAP is an independent advisory body of scientists, with an overall goal of providing objective, independent, scientific advice on the conservation and recovery of the western gray whale population. Its main roles and responsibilities are to:<br><br>- Advise on whether the Contracting Companies' studies, assessments and proposed mitigation plans (i) take account of the best available scientific knowledge, (ii) identify information gaps, and (iii) interpret both existing knowledge and information gaps in a manner that reflects precaution;<br>- Provide objective scientific, technical and operational recommendations it believes are necessary or useful for conserving the WGW population;<br>- Review all relevant information on the WGW population;<br>- Seek any additional information that it may require for making effective recommendations;<br>- Assess whether the studies, assessments and proposed mitigation plans are adequate to ensure that proposed activities will not have significant impacts on the WGW population;<br>- Review (i) the effectiveness of existing mitigation measures as determined from associated monitoring programme results, and (ii) the likely effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures; provide recommendations regarding modifications, alternatives or the development of new measures;<br>- Review existing and proposed research and monitoring programmes or propose separate research that it considers important and relevant, and provide recommendations and advice as necessary or useful.<br><br>IUCN is now seeking to appoint a new Programme Officer to coordinate the work of the WGWAP as the dialogue continues with extended commitments from Sakhalin Energy.<br><br>The Programme Officer will perform a vital function with respect to the WGWAP and the numerous stakeholders involved, including private sector companies, governments, lending institutions, and civil society. The Programme Officer will need to communicate in a professional manner with these stakeholders and ensure that all relevant activities are consistent with contractual agreements and IUCN policies. <br><br>This is a high-profile IUCN initiative and the Programme Officer will need the integrity, professionalism and skills to perform at this level.<br><br>The Programme Officer will primarily perform three interlinked functions: i) manage project activities, finances and deliverables under relevant contracts; ii) provide secretariat support to the WGWAP; and iii) contribute to overall Global Marine and Polar Programme planning and reporting activities. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-bottom:dotted silver 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 3.0pt 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#111111;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Project Management <br>a) Manage the IUCN interaction with Sakhalin Energy and others on all matters relating to contractual obligations;<br>b) Serve as the focal point for all IUCN component programmes, regional and country offices, and Commissions involved in the WGWAP process;
