Middle East Desalination Research Centre looking for a Director
The
Middle East Desalination Research Centre (MEDRC) was established in 1996 as
part of the Multilateral Middle East Peace Process to conduct research
and training in water desalination technology and supporting fields,
and to facilitate and support the work of others in those fields. It
aims to raise the standard of living in the Middle East and elsewhere
by supporting work that can lead to cost reduction and quality
improvement in the technical processes of water desalination.
The
current Director is moving on after 10 years and we wish to find a
successor to start by early 2009. A major new Headquarters facility
opened in March 2008, increasing MEDRC’s ability to carry out its
mission. This will be an exciting time to take over.
The new Director will be a charismatic leader and outstanding manager with highly developed skills in diplomacy, and the ability to understand and communicate about scientific material, without necessarily being a scientist.
Responsibilities
He or she will be responsible for advocacy on behalf of the center and involving a wide range of people in its work, through fundraising and strengthening the networks of scientists, research organisations, the private sector, and others who can contribute to the work of the center, and the noble cause for which it stands.
Experience Required
The Director may have a background in government, NGOs, science and engineering, the private sector or academia
Salary Benefits
Application Procedure
The closing date for the job will be Monday 1st September 2008 with interviews in Oct – Nov 2008.
