*About APAN
*The Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) is the industry association
and peak body for the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs)
of the Asia-Pacific region. It is a community-led organisation that
strives to connect people, promote cultures and facilitate research and
education across the region. It runs two major meetings each year, and
supports a large number of working groups across technical and
application domains. It is an evolving organisation at all times, as
technologies, and the needs of researchers and educators, change
continuously.**
As part of that evolution, an opportunity has arisen for APAN to appoint
a new General Manager.**
*About the role
*The role of General Manager (GM) is central to the operations and
success of APAN.**
1. The GM is responsible for ensuring the activities of APAN
support the priorities of members and their stakeholders.**
2. It requires watching and understanding the evolution of the NREN
and research-infrastructure/services sector, within and across
countries, to inform APAN strategy development.**
3. The GM oversees the operations of APAN, including the APAN
Secretariat, the Board, the Council of Members, and various
committees.**
4. It involves promoting APAN to the wider community – to peer NREN
groups around the world, to NRENs across the Asia Pacific
region, as well as to industry, to government agencies and NGOs**
5. The GM supports the Board and Members to identify strategic
opportunities and challenges for the future of APAN, and then
leads the development of suitable activities and processes.**
**
*About the arrangements*
The GM is appointed through a contract for service, rather than an
employment arrangement, with a two-year term, renewed as agreed. The
position is location-independent. APAN covers any necessary travel and
meeting-attendance costs. While a full-time appointment is desirable, a
part-time appointment can be negotiated, along with an appropriate salary.
**
The position is available immediately, and a starting date will be
negotiated with the successful applicant. APAN is keen to confirm an
appointment by the APAN’55 Meeting in Nepal in March 2023. There will be
an extended handover period, supported by the current General Manager.
The initial appointment may include a probation period, if deemed
appropriate by the selection committee.
