Job description
Strong climate services are vital to reducing vulnerability to climate
impacts. However, the majority of the world?s governments, communities
and business sectors, particularly in 70 of the most vulnerable and
least-developed countries, do not yet have access to usable and
scientifically credible climate information and forecasts. In 2009, The
Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) was established with a goal
to pool the expertise and resources of a number of organizations
together to design and produce knowledge, information and services that
support effective decision-making.
As a partner to the GFCS, NORCAP is now seeking experienced
meteorologists interested in a challenge out of the ordinary which
includes:
?Facilitation and coordination of project activities
?Provision of technical assistance and advice to national experts:
?to ensure that the data and information necessary for the development
of climate information is recorded according to standards and data for
the generation of climate services is available and accessible.
?to enable tailoring of climate information products and services to the
needs of various user groups at the national and sub-national levels.
?Networking with relevant stakeholders at all levels (ministries and
other state institutions, donors, NGOs, local communities and private
sector)
?Capacity building of national staff
?Ensure facilitation of dialogue between users and providers of climate
information and improve products and services based on feedback from users
?The Meteorologist will work under the direct supervision of the WMO and
GFCS partners
Qualifications
?Advanced university degree in meteorology, environmental sciences or
related discipline
?At least 5 years of working experience in national or international
projects/programmes in the field of meteorology
?Experience in organizing workshops and conducting training sessions,
preparing technical report and communication material
?Good interpersonal skills with experience in networking with partners
at all levels
?Experience from working with or in international and UN organizations
?Demonstrated written, analytical, presentation, reporting and computing
skills
Application process
The vacancy is open until Tuesday September 23^rd . For more information
