Natural Resource Conservation Training and Capacity Building Specialist,
Wildlife Conservation Society
Libreville, Gabon
Background:
The 1,400 miles of pristine beaches, lagoons and waters of the Congo
Basin lie alongside the world's second-largest intact forest. Here, on
the western edge of Central Africa, WCS supports a major commitment to
marine conservation. Increasingly, this wild coast is challenged by
intensive overfishing, burgeoning offshore industry and coastal
development. Successful conservation of the Congo Basin Coast, its
ecosystems and wildlife can only be achieved by strengthening and
connecting protected areas along the coast, improving fisheries
enforcement, and assisting governments and private industry to put
conservation at the heart of development planning. Having played an
integral role in creating Gabon's ambitious national protected area
system, WCS is well positioned to provide the scientific and
conservation leadership needed to ensure a future for this coast's
awe-inspiring wildlife.
As part of this work, WCS is looking to undertake biological surveys as
part of feasibility studies and implementation plans for the
conservation of biodiversity in the Congo Basin Coast (CBC) region. WCS
is committed to implementing a resource development strategy in the CBC
that is exemplary in terms of socio-economic and environmental
safeguards and in accordance with both national law and international
best practice, with a level of compliance consistent with World Bank
performance standards. This approach is consistent with the belief that
for oil and gas development to thrive, it must be good at generating
economic value while also embracing impeccable social and environmental
values and standards.
Position Objective:
The Natural Resource Conservation Training and Capacity Building
specialist will provide oversight and monitor the proposed and actual
activities of extractive industries working in the CBC region, and
identify needs and opportunities for WCS to be engaged in mitigation and
offset needs. The specialist will also lead activities to design and
implement long-term training and education programs that can strengthen
efforts to preempt risks and avoid, mitigate, or offset potential
adverse impacts from industry developments on biodiversity and
livelihoods in the Congo Basin Coast region. This person will work
closely with WCS Congo Basin Coast program and country offices staff,
NY-based staff, the government of Gabon, and local and international
partners in industry and non-governmental organizations, report to the
Director of the Congo Basin Coast program and be based in Libreville, Gabon.

Marine spatial planner, Wildlife Conservation Society
Libreville, Gabon
The Marine spatial planner/Conservation planner will work closely with
WCS Congo Basin Coast program and country offices staff, NY staff, the
government of Gabon, and partners in industry and non-governmental
organizations to compile and analyze the information necessary to make
informed decisions about the future of the marine environment off
Central Africa's west coast. The planner will be responsible for leading
a multi-stakeholder process to identify priority areas for conservation
action that will ensure the persistence of biodiversity and balance
conservation interests with that of other stakeholders (e.g. petroleum
exploration, foreign and domestic fisheries, coastal development) in the
planning process. This person will report to the Director of the Congo
Basin Coast program and will be based in Libreville, Gabon.

Sustainable Fisheries Specialist, Wildlife Conservation Society
Libreville, Gabon
The Sustainable Fisheries Specialist will work closely with WCS Congo
Basin Coast program and country offices staff, NY-based staff, the
government of Gabon, and local and international partners in industry
and non-governmental organizations to help develop recommendations for
conservation actions toward achieving long-term, sustainable fisheries
off Central Africa's west coast shelf. This person will report to the
Director of the Congo Basin Coast program and will be based in
Libreville, Gabon.

Research Fellow Coral Reef Ecology, Griffith University
Brisbane, Australia
Dr Diaz-Pulido's research program focuses on understanding the
consequences of human impacts on coral reef ecology, coral-algal
dynamics, and in particular, ocean acidification on coral-macroalgal
interactions. While significant progress has been made to understand the
biological and physiological consequences of human-induced ocean
acidification on algae and corals, very little is known about the
ecological ramifications on coral reefs.
This is a fixed term (2 years), full time position based at the Nathan
campus.
The coral reef/algal ecologist will work closely with Dr Guillermo
Diaz-Pulido at Griffith University and colleagues from the University of
Queensland and Georgia Institute of Technology to develop an active
research program on ocean acidification effects on coral reefs,
particularly coral-algal interactions. Duties will include field and
laboratory work, publishing in high quality journals, contributing to
supervision of research higher degree students and assisting with the
development and preparation of research grant proposals. The Research
Fellow will be funded by a grant from the Australian Research Council
and will assist Dr Diaz-Pulido with existing projects in the field of
ocean acidification impacts on coral reefs and with the development of
new research opportunities.
