Hey all,

One month ago, HOT published a Field Coordinator position for the EUROSHA project.

As a reminder, EUROSHA is a European Union pilot project that wants to build up a European Open-Source Humanitarian Aid corps of volunteers to address humanitarian issues and specifically ensure inclusive humanitarian information-sharing in crisis preparedness. 26 volunteers from Europe and Africa will be deployed 6 months in 4 African countries (Chad, Central African Republic, Burundi and Kenya) for 6 months, starting mid October. During these missions, HOT will support the volunteers in accomplishing the training, mapping and outreach activities planned for each country during the months of preparation, involving the EUROSHA local partner organization as well as local and international humanitarian organizations, local government institutions, and local tech or social communities.

We’d like to thank the persons who applied for the position of Field Coordinator with HOT in the EUROSHA project: there is no doubt that you will be able to contribute greatly to HOT projects in the future and we will be contacting you if any further project arise.

Unfortunately the proficiency in French was a criteria insufficiently met by the applicants. Since this project involves three French speaking countries, we decided to reopen this position for another 15 days (until 27-Sept).

Work includes one 3 weeks trip in November and potentially a second one over January and February after evaluation of the first deployment.

The position requires familiarity with HOT work, experience in the OSM project, strong expertise in JOSM, GPS, QGIS and other open source GIS tools and a commitment to continue supporting the mapping project that would have been set up throughout the mission.

Given the the tight deadlines on this project, we will be conducting interviews as application come. We would also like to encourage people interested in working with HOT on-the-ground to take advantage of this call to apply and get known by us.

Sincerely,

Severin
