Biodiversity conservation specialist

by Unknown  |  at  2:00 AM

Chemonics seeks a Biodiversity Conservation Specialist for the anticipated West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change (WA-BiCC) Activity, a five-year, $50 million project aiming to improve conservation and climate-resilient, low emission growth across West Africa. WA-BiCC is part of USAID's wider efforts to coordinate closely with regional West African Partners, such as ECOWAS, to advance broad-based economic growth and resilience in the region. Most activities will be in targeted geographical areas, such as the coastal zone and the inland forests, to improve governance and policy over critical natural and human systems, while others will be at broader policy/institution levels. The biodiversity conservation specialist will provide extensive technical support to assist with project implementation. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in a relevant discipline required
  • Minimum of seven years of regional/international experience in biodiversity programs
  • Considerable working experience in coastal and forest areas and/or West Africa highly preferred
  • Demonstrated success implementing programs aimed at protecting biodiversity in developing countries, including interventions targeted at wildlife trafficking
  • Demonstrated knowledge of the latest developments in advancing good/best practices in biodiversity that reach women, youth, the poor and very poor; creativity; and willingness to innovate and think systemically
  • Oral and written communication and presentations skills in French (tested FSI R3/S3) and English required
  • Demonstrated experience in collaborating across projects
  • Demonstrated leadership, versatility, and integrity
