Friends of the Earth Australia (FoEA) is a decentralised, volunteer-driven organisation committed to achieving ecological sustainability and social justice. The FoEA Nanotechnology Project has existed since 2005. Its aim is to achieve precautionary management of nanotechnology’s environment and health risks, just oversight of social and economic dimensions, and to ensure that public participation guides nanotechnology decision making (see http://nano.foe.org.au).
The Nanotechnology Project coordinator’s primary responsibility is to facilitate the development, and ensure implementation, of the strategic plan agreed on an annual basis by the Nanotechnology Project collective. The coordinator maintains an overarching view of the political, commercial and scientific landscapes, and supports other members of the collective to contribute effectively to achieve the project’s aims.
The coordinator is expected to exercise a high degree of leadership and independent judgement in
the week-to-week implementation of the plan, however, key issues of policy and strategy must be
decided in conjunction with the other members of the collective.
The Nanotechnology Project is committed to skill sharing and flat decision making structures.
Collective members should wherever possible share roles of responsibility and representation with
the coordinator.
A full position description is attached below.
