Hi everybody, A friend passed this on to me. Note the close deadline (Jan 4th) and timeline for interested North American applicants.
Take care, neal -----Original Message----- Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am happily ensconced in an extraordinary new venture in Bangladesh: the Asian University for Women. Our challenge is to provide a quality liberal arts education to women from all over South and South-East Asia, the majority of whom would be unable to get an education otherwise. Currently, we have 300 students from 14 countries- a veritable tower of Babel - amd are growing in leaps and bounds. The reason I'm writing is that we need professors! We are starting a Master's program in Computer Science/Information and Communication Technology (CS/ICT) and looking for teachers interested in developing the Undergraduate and Graduate Program (and in living in Bangladesh!). A description of the available posts can be found at our website www.asian-university.org. If you know of anyone who might be interested in coming here, could you please pass the word? The immediate need is for teachers so currently this should not be considered a research position. However, our vision is an integration of pedagogy, applied research and entrepreneurship for both student and teacher alike. I am working to set up a few research programs that respond directly to the regional needs and we are already working with CMU in a joint internship program. Anyone who comes is in a great position to help determine our research direction. Applications from North America are due Jan. 4th (applicants from this region have until the beginning of February). Because this is so soon, I've asked that any applicants from my contacts be considered even if the application is incomplete. So applicants should send in what they have by Jan. 4 and mention my name. Polly K. Pook Associate Professor Asian University for Women 20/A M.M.
