Description

–>

The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) is a global collaborative platform that provides access to scientific data and information on the diversity, abundance, and distribution of marine species. OBIS is one of the core components of the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE), which is a programme of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO.
The purpose of IODE is to enhance marine research, exploitation, and development, by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating member states and by developing applications that meet the needs of users of marine data and information products.
UNESCO/IOC is a partner in several European Horizon projects that involve OBIS, as well as one UNESCO project jointly with the World Heritage Centre, and is therefore seeking to recruit an Associate Project Officer to support the implementation of the following projects.
MARine COastal BiOdiversity Long-term Observations (MARCO-BOLO). The MARCO-BOLO project aims to structure and strengthen European coastal and marine biodiversity observation capabilities, linking them to global efforts (e.g. MBON, GOOS, OBIS and UN Ocean Decade Programmes such as Marine Life 2030, OBON, ODIS, Ocean Practices for the Decade), to understand and restore ocean health, and ensure outputs respond to explicit stakeholder needs from policy, spatial planning, and industry. MARCO-BOLO is a four-year project that started in December 2022.
A Plan towards an eDNA reference library and data repository for Aquatic Organisms, navigating Europe towards the next generation biodiversity monitoring (eDNAqua-plan). The eDNAqua-Plan project will develop a plan for establishing a digital ecosystem of eDNA repositories and an integrated reference library for marine and freshwater species that is open-access and based on the FAIR data principles to support future aquatic biodiversity monitoring programmes and mapping initiatives. eDNAqua-Plan is a three-year project that started in September 2023.
The Integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean (DTO-BioFlow). DTO-BioFlow is set to increase the accessibility of data (unlock sleeping data) concerning ocean biodiversity and the human activities influencing it, thereby facilitating the seamless integration of these data streams into the biological component of the EU Digital Twin Ocean, which serves as a digital replica of marine ecological processes. DTO-BioFlow is a 3.5 year project that started in September 2023.
eDNA expeditions in marine World Heritage sites. This is a citizen-science project that will determine (a) the richness of fish species, and vulnerable or endangered species, across the 50 marine World Heritage sites by collecting and analyzsing environmental DNA and (b) how the effects of climate change might be impacting the distribution and migration patterns of these species. Local communities including youth at the marine World Heritage sites will be engaged in the eDNA expeditions. The project is a joint initiative across the Science (IOC) and Cultural Sectors of UNESCO. The project will end 30 June 2024.
The responsibilities encompass both the seamless management of ongoing EU project activities and the strategic advancement of OBIS's engagement in molecular observations.

The main duties and responsibilities for this role are as follows:


Timely Completion of Project Activities: The primary objective is to ensure the successful and timely execution of project activities. This entails collaborating with project teams, overseeing task coordination, arranging meetings, and facilitating activities associated with project work.
