Issue Date: | 28 November 2011 |
Application Deadline: | 22 December 2011 |
Type of Appointment: | Either a Fixed-term or Temporary-assistance appointment may be offered (subject to a probationary period of 1 year) |
CCOG codes: | 2.A.12.a |
Organizational Setting |
The Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety develops and maintains standards for radiation protection, radioactive waste safety and safety in the transport of radioactive material that enable the beneficial uses of radiation to be exploited while ensuring appropriate protection of workers, the public and patients. It also assists Member States in the implementation of these standards and provides related services, as well as education and training. The Regulatory Infrastructure and Transport Safety Section (RITS) is responsible for providing Member States with safety standards, guidance and tools to foster regulatory infrastructure for the control of radiation sources, for the safe transport of radioactive material and for managing information for the identification of needs in Member States that would be used to improve radiation, transport and waste safety. The Control of Radiation Sources Unit is responsible for the development of standards for regulatory infrastructure for the control of radiation sources and for providing for the application of these standards in Member States. It is also responsible for maintaining and promoting the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and the associated import/export guidance, and assisting Member States in its implementation. It takes the lead within the Department on all Integrated Regulatory Review Services (IRRS) to non-nuclear Member States and advisory missions related to the control of radiation sources. It develops practical tools, such as the Regulatory Authority Information System (RAIS) to assist Member States in strengthening their regulatory infrastructure. The Unit has 7 professional officers and 2 support staff. The Unit's work is diverse and requires actions to be taken in a timely manner to ensure the programme is implemented on schedule. Although the provision of missions and workshops is based on a planned schedule, external events or difficulties may cause the IAEA to deviate from the plan, sometimes at very short notice requiring flexibility and initiative on the part of the incumbent. The Implementation Assistant manages priorities with a high level of independence and identifies solutions to administrative issues. The nature of the work often demands a willingness to work long or unusual hours and a readiness to go on duty travel for periods of one or two consecutive weeks. |
Main Purpose |
Under the general supervision of the Unit Head, the Implementation Assistant is the focal point for the Department on administrative matters related to the Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) activities in non-nuclear Member States and for the Unit/Section in the organization of workshops related to regulatory infrastructure in Member States. |
Working Relationships |
The Implementation Assistant obtains, provides or clarifies information with staff at all levels in the Division and Department and with support staff in the Departments of Management (MT) and Technical Cooperation (TC). The Implementation Assistant clarifies and resolves administrative issues to the extent possible with the appropriate staff in the Division, Department, MT or TC. Information provided to staff participating in an IRRS mission includes all aspects of the administrative arrangements, provision of procedures or guidelines, and specific background information relevant to the event. The Implementation Assistant exchanges information with officials outside the IAEA concerning the local arrangements for an IAEA workshop or mission including operational costs, and with the experts participating in the workshop or mission concerning logistical and financial arrangements. The Implementation Assistant keeps the Unit Head informed on a regular basis of administrative developments and seeks approval for non-routine solutions to administrative issues. |
