[Coral-List] Reef Check Australia Position Announcement

[Jennifer Loder]

Position Announcement: Reef Check Australia Seasonal Project Officer, South
East Queensland

 

Reef Check Australia is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to
protecting Australia's coral communities through scientific research and
community engagement. We train recreational divers to participate in coral
health surveys up and down the Queensland coast, on more then 80 research
sites. By providing hands-on opportunities to actively participate in coral
monitoring, we are able to engage the Australian community in coral
conservation at a unique level and provide an early warning system for
changes in reef health. 

 

The Project Officer position will involve the planning, coordination and
leadership of Reef Check Australia research teams to monitoring sites in the
South East Queensland (SEQ) region from May to November 2010. This role will
also include data management, analysis and the creation of a scientific
report. Additional responsibilities, subject to interest may include
fundraising, event coordination, education and grant writing.

 

The RCA SEQ project works with a dozen dive operators to reach more than 25
monitoring sites ranging from Noosa to the Gold Coast. Good communication,
motivation, delegation and social skills are essential to coordinate this
collaborative community network. Minimum Rescue Diver certification is
required for the position. However, an insured divemaster or instructor is
preferred. 

 

The position is entirely voluntary. However, if you can identify potential
grants that could provide you with a source of funds we are happy to assist
you with an application.

Applicants should send their resume and cover letter addressing selection

Cheers
