a comprehensive science program of the highest caliber to enhance
understanding of the North Pacific, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean
ecosystems and fisheries. It conducts its work through science planning,
prioritization of pressing fishery management and ecosystem information
needs, coordination and cooperation among research programs, competitive
selection of research projects, increased information availability, and
public involvement.

  1. Vice President Indigenous Affairs
    University of the Arctic

The University of the Arctic (UArctic) announces a request for proposals
for the post of UArctic Vice President Indigenous Affairs.

The UArctic Strategic Plan 2009-2013 states that UArctic shall look to
increase leadership of indigenous peoples in the operation, governance,
and programmatic activities of UArctic. Further, the plan sets the
specific goal that by 2013 indigenous peoples and northerners will have
a well-defined, prominent role in the leadership and development of
UArctic.

As a reflection of these strategic objectives, the UArctic Board of
Governors has decided to strengthen the UArctic leadership by
establishing the post of UArctic Vice President Indigenous Affairs. The
goals and objectives as well as eligibility criteria and selection
process are detailed in the 'Terms of Reference' document available at:
http://www.uarctic.org/singleNewsArticle.aspx?m=83&amid=7782.

All UArctic members are eligible to submit proposals for the Vice
President Indigenous Affairs post by Friday, 30 October 2009. The
proposals, signed by the President/Director of the member organization,
should be sent by email to the UArctic International Secretariat at:
