Coral Folks and Parks Folks,
Below is the Job Description/Scope of Work for a Resident Advisor on a USAID
Project in Egypt, relating to the natural resources management of the Red
Sea. I spent 18 months on the precursor to this project, so would be happy to
provide insight and details for anyone who is interested. The outgoing
person had a terrestrial-parks background, but a marine orientation is really
needed.
The position is open immediately--only serious folks able to make a year or
more committment should respond.
PLEASE DO NOT HIT REPLY---rather send me an individual email regarding the
position, or contact Ms. Stagliano (info at end) at IRG directly.
