The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has a distinguished history of experts exploring and saving wildlife in some of the most remote and wild places remaining on Earth. The Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program (WCS-IP) has significantly grown over the last decades and contributed to supporting the Government of Indonesia (GoI), particularly the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) in conserving Indonesia's biodiversity. WCS-IP is structured under five core thematic programs: Forests, Marine, Wildlife Trade & Policy, One Health, and Rights & Communities. These programs are supported by cross-cutting units namely Science & Technology, Conservation Network & Partnership, and Operations.
In provinces of Aceh, North Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and North Maluku, WCS-IP is supporting the Natural Resources Conservation Agencies and Local Governments on the protection and preservation of biodiversity at the aquatic ecosystems level and on the community empowerment around the conservation area/buffer village communities.
To achieve our overall goal of saving wildlife and wild places, WCS-IP is currently seeking qualified candidates for the position of Marine Science Unit Manager. The position will directly report to Marine Senior Program Manager and work with other WCS-IP staff.
