Project Technical Adviser, Integrated Forest Landscape Management for Strengthening the North-Eastern and Eastern Forest Corridors Project

RECOFTC is seeking a Project Technical Adviser for the Integrated Forest Landscape Management for Strengthening the North-eastern and Eastern Forest Corridors (IFLMS-NE&E) project in Thailand. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as the GEF implementing agency. RECOFTC holds overall executing and technical responsibility as the operational partner, with FAO providing oversight and technical support and the Royal Forest Department (RFD) serving as the lead government partner agency.

The project focuses on four forest complexes along Thailand's eastern border: Phu Phan, Phanom Dongrak–Pha Tam, Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai and the eastern forest, spanning 6.5 million hectares of globally significant wildlife habitat, home to species such as the Asian elephant, the Indo-Chinese tiger and the Great Hornbill. These landscapes face growing threats from forest degradation, land-use change, and habitat encroachment and fragmentation.

The project's primary goal is to strengthen biodiversity conservation across these four complexes by improving forest landscape management. This involves strengthening government policy, institutional arrangements and capacities for conservation within and between protected areas, mainstreaming biodiversity objectives into the management of forests, agricultural land and plantations, and reducing human-wildlife conflict. The project also contributes to broader national policies and laws on land degradation, gender equity, rural development and climate change.

The position is based at the RECOFTC Thailand Office in Bangkok. The selected candidate will be offered a 24-month contract with the possibility of extension, contingent on funding availability and satisfactory performance. Any offer of employment is contingent upon confirmation of project funding.

Deadline for Applications: 22 October 2026
