Director (D-1), IAEA Environment Laboratories
Monaco
The IAEA Environment Laboratories (NAEL) is a Division of the Department
of Nuclear Sciences and Applications currently comprising four
laboratories, of which three specializing in radiometrics, radioecology
and marine environmental studies are located in Monaco and one
terrestrial environment laboratory in Seibersdorf (about 45 km south of
Vienna), which implements the Environment Programme under Major
Programme 2.
NAEL's objective is to enhance the capability of IAEA Member States to
understand key marine and terrestrial physical processes governing the
climate and the transport and fate of contaminants and other elements in
the environment. NAEL uses nuclear techniques for the identification and
mitigation of marine and terrestrial environmental problems caused by
radioactive and non-radioactive pollutants. It will achieve its
objectives by enabling Member States reliably to assess current and
future levels of radioactive and other contaminants in the marine and
terrestrial environment through the application of radionuclides and
isotopes for diagnostic purposes.
The NAEL operating environment is dynamic, participative and interactive
with inputs received from the Board of Governors, the General
Conference, policy- and decision makers and technical counterparts in
Member States and the international development community.
Reporting directly to and under the guidance of the Deputy Director
General, Head of the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications,
the Director ensures that NAEL provides results-based programmatic
responses to Member States' priorities for the application of nuclear
and isotopic technologies to their development goals in environmental
issues.
The Director is: (1) a manager and team leader, ensuring that the
environment programmes and projects are developed and implemented
efficiently and effectively in line with the results-based approach; (2)
an advisor to the Head of the Department, identifying opportunities to
meet the needs of Member States and positioning the programme to deliver
those needs; (3) a liaison with the Monégasque authorities in relation
to administrative matters for the operation of the laboratory premises.
