BRITISH COLUMBIA

YEAR 2000 VISITING SCHOLAR PROGRAM

The Institute of Health Promotion Research at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) is inviting Visiting Scholars for the 2000 and 2001 academic years. The Visiting Scholar Program is an integral part of the Institute of Health Promotion Research. Scholars working in the areas of health promotion, health education, population health or disease prevention research are encouraged to apply. Scholars may apply to spend leave or sabbatical time (one to twelve months) in affiliation with the Institute.

The goal of the Institute is to stimulate health research and to facilitate interchange of ideas and collaboration among scholars. Scholars will be expected to take part in Institute activities such as participation in research seminars, consultation on research projects, collaboration on development of new research proposals, and assisting in the supervision of graduate students. Scholars are also expected to give a public lecture during their term.

The Visiting Scholar program is open to faculty, (untenured or tenured), from Canadian universities or other countries. Applicants from UBC will be considered as Scholars-In-Residence. In its selection of visitors, the Institute hopes to create a diverse community of junior and senior scholar-researchers. The Institute is interested in applicants who work in the area of community-based, health promotion research. This topic will be the focus of events at the Institute during 1999-2001. Funds are not available for salary. Scholars will normally be provided with shared office space, phone, access to the Institute's computer network and library, and limited clerical assistance. Applications must include:

- a current curriculum vitae,
- a detailed statement of research plans for the time period,
- the length of time for which they are applying,
- and the beginning date.

The applicant must also arrange to have two referees forward a letter of support and appraisal to:

Visiting Scholar Program,
Institute of Health Promotion Research,
3rd Floor, LPC Building, 2206 East Mall,
