Job Vacancies

Job vacancies within the UN agencies are usually posted on their individual websites.  Other useful links:

  • UNDP Pacific Centre also has a Pacific Roster of Experts. To upload your CV, contact Jennifer Namagyal: Jennifer.namgyal@undp.org

  • Job postings in the local newspaper, the Fiji Times, especially the Saturday edition

 

Note: If you have a professional background in statistics or climate change these are areas that are generally in high demand and offer short term contracts, especially with UNICEF.
