<p> </p>
<p>The Ocean Foundation (TOF) is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit
international community foundation with a mission to
support, strengthen, and promote those organizations
dedicated to reversing the trend of destruction of ocean
environments around the world. TOF works with donors who
care about the coasts and oceans to attract new financial
resources to support marine conservation in order to promote
healthy ocean ecosystems and benefit the human communities
who depend on them.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One line of business is our Fiscal Sponsorship Fund
program, comprised of two types of sponsorship activities.
Directly sponsored projects benefit from the non-profit
organizational infrastructure of TOF allowing the projects’
staff to focus on program work and not administration. TOF
staff provide financial, administrative, human resources and
project counseling support so that project leaders can focus
on program planning, fundraising, and outreach. Through our
organizational sponsorship, or ‘Friends of’ sponsorship
activity, international non-profits are able to access U.S.
donors so as to benefit from the charitable deduction
available by giving to a 501(c)(3) entity.
<br>
<br>
The Program Associate is responsible for the operation and
administration of the TOF Fiscal Sponsorship Program. This
position will provide support to projects in general
operations and financial management; will process new
projects and contracts, and will be the main point of
contact for all sponsored program managers. The position
will work directly for the Program Officer.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TOF is seeking an experienced program professional with a
graduate degree and two to three years of work experience.
Individuals with a bachelors degree and three to five years
of experience will also be considered. Work experience
should include planning and organizing, problem solving and
working independently and as a productive team member, as
well as demonstrate a clear ability to meet deadlines and
complete tasks with a high degree of accuracy and
dependability. Required skills include effective written
and oral communications, understanding and ability to work
with colleagues across many diverse cultures and
backgrounds, detail-oriented and ability to multi-task.
Strong computer skills are necessary, and experience with
web-based databases including Salesforce and Clicktime is
preferred. A solid interest in environmental and sustainable
development issues, especially those related to marine and
coastal conservation, is a plus. Spanish language skills
(written and oral) are also a plus. The Ocean Foundation is
a Mac environment. </p>

<p><font size="3">Project Coordinator, Cuba Marine Research
and Conservation Program, The Ocean Foundation</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Ocean Foundation (TOF) is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit
international community foundation with a mission to
support, strengthen, and promote those organizations
dedicated to reversing the trend of destruction of ocean
environments around the world. TOF works with donors who
care about the coasts and oceans to attract new financial
resources to support marine conservation in order to promote
healthy ocean ecosystems and benefit the human communities
who depend on them. The Ocean Foundation’s Cuba Marine
Research and Conservation Program (CMRC) is currently
seeking a part time contractor as the Project Coordinator.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CMRC represents a decade-long effort establishing working
relationships between US and Cuban scientists and policy
makers and implementing ground-breaking research activities.
In addition the program has developed an unprecedented
tri-national partnership dedicated to elevating
collaboration in marine science and conservation between
Cuba, Mexico and the United States. The program is in a
unique position addressing compelling regional and
international marine conservation issues – including coral
reef health, climate change and the role of marine protected
areas. The relatively unknown waters of Cuba, the
near-pristine state of many of its coral reefs and
ecosystems, and its unique geographical location and
ecological interconnections with the U.S. and Mexico make a
compelling case for leveraging the 10-year success of this
program into a program that can address the critical
scientific and policy questions of our time.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Project Coordinator position will be responsible for
running key programs, including the Trinational Initiative
for Marine Research and Conservation in the Gulf of Mexico
and Western Caribbean, a group of scientists from Mexico,
Cuba and the US that has performed joint research activities
since 2007. Programmatic work will include meeting planning
and coordination, maintaining communications and relations
with US, Cuban and Mexican partners, reporting and
fundraising. Additionally, this position will coordinate
the new educational exchange program, through which U.S.
citizens will travel to Cuba to interact and learn from
Cuban scientists. Responsibilities will include trip
planning and coordination, promotion, and fundraising. This
position will also assist the Project Director in developing
new programmatic initiatives with the Cuban partners and be
responsible for fundraising
</p>
<p>CMRC is seeking a professional with an advanced degree in a
relevant field (biology, ecology, international relations,
policy, etc), together with at least five years of program
leadership experience. Experience with grant writing,
reporting and management a plus. Understanding/knowledge of
Cuban policy and/or policy work in Latin America also a
plus. Candidates should have excellent writing skills, an
ability and desire to travel extensively, and be fluent in
English and Spanish. The ability to work independently, and
as part of a small (two-person) team, as well as great
coordination and planning skills is necessary. Location
preferences include Miami, Mexico and Washington, DC, but
not necessary.

The Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU) undertakes research to
forecast global climate variations from one month to several

<p>The successful applicant will perform statistical analyses
on the most recent observational datasets and reanalyses to
extract the mechanisms driving the Arctic sea ice cover
variability and its relation to the European climate. The
candidate will assess their predictability in a perfect
model ‘approach’, which consists in assessing to which
extent a model is able to reproduce its own variability.
He/she will estimate the actual forecast skill in
retrospective predictions. The core of the tasks will
consist in the statistical analysis of the large amount of
already available data. At a later stage, sensitivity
experiments can be designed and run by the successful
applicant depending on the initial results from statistical
analyses. The simulations to be analysed have been produced
with the EC-Earth climate model, which includes LIM2 sea ice
model. They can also be repeated at a later stage with both
LIM3 and GELATO6 sea ice model.</p>
