Hi
 
I will soon be leaving my position as an "apiculture specialist"
with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in New Zealand,
and we are trying to find a replacement as soon as possible.
Anyone interested in living in New Zealand and working with the
beekeeping industry in a Government position, please read on...
 
APICULTURE SERVICES MANAGER
MAF QUALITY MANAGEMENT
LINCOLN,
NEW ZEALAND
 
 
Our apiculture team in the South Island of New Zealand requires a
highly motivated person to contribute to and provide leadership
in the delivery of services for the beekeeping industry.
 
This person will have advanced skills in apiculture: particularly
disease and pest management and apiary management.  Skills in
consultancy, project management and team leadership are also
required.  Experience in international consultancy is desirable.
 
MAF Quality Management is a division of the New Zealand Ministry
of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), and leads in providing pest
management and consultancy services to the beekeeping industry on
contract to government and industry clients.
 
The position is based at Lincoln, near Christchurch.  Position
Description and Person Specification are available on request
from Adele King, Administration Officer, MAF Quality Management,
P O Box 24, Lincoln, New Zealand.  Phone (64) 3325-3900,
fax (64) 33253919.  INTERNET: [log in to unmask]
(if replying on internet, please remember to send direct to
Adele, not to BEE-L)
 
I hope my posting this to BEE-L does not upset anyone, but this
is only way that I can get this message to the relevant audience
within a reasonable period of time.  The number of "apiculture
specialists" around the world is fairly small, but their diverse
locations makes contact difficult by conventional means.  My
apologies in advance to anyone who considers this an
inappropriate use of the board.
 
Regards
Stephen Ogden
