II. Organizational Context and Scope

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. IOM's mission is to promote humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. 

IOM's migration learning platform, E-Campus, is an online platform that offers three different e-learning modalities: self-paced courses, tutored and bi-modal. The Platform hosts free and open courses and specialized courses offered on-demand or under bi-modal (a virtual course that complements a face to face course) modality.   

The Platform has strengthened its capacities to develop e-learning courses in-house. The demand for courses is growing. Consequently, there is a need to hire a technical or professional E-Learning Instructional Designer to create interactive e-learning experiences and solutions.

Under the overall supervision of the IOM E-Campus Project Coordinator and direct supervision of the IOM E-Campus Capacity-Building Assistant, the selected person will be responsible for the following duties:
