A National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded project aimed at improving pregnancy outcome for obese women (The UPBEAT Study) and its translation into a community setting funded by Guys and St Thomas' Charity (CAN study). The research team has developed an individually tailored ‘life style' package for obese pregnant women, to encourage them to change their diet and physical activity. Working within the MRC Framework for complex interventions, we are now on Phase 2 , with the pilot randomised controlled trials just starting. The postholder will be responsible for conducting the process evaluation of intervention delivery across the two trials, involving a comparative analysis of the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention to participants and providers and of delivery fidelity. The post provides a unique opportunity for the post holder to acquire a broader knowledge base, work in a team with experienced researchers and develop his/her research skills further. The post is initially available for two years. Closing date 30th April 2010.

International Honors Program - Traveling Faculty, comparative study abroad with community health focus International Honors Program Health and Community Programs 1 and 2 Job Announcement: Traveling Faculty The International Honors Program (IHP), a program of World Learning/SIT, offers international, comparative study abroad programs. We are currently seeking traveling faculty members to join two interdisciplinary teams of faculty, fellows, and host country coordinators for IHP’s “Health and Community Program" in Spring 2011. Each of the two four-month programs will take approximately 33 students from upper-tier colleges and universities to four countries to explore issues of health and community from a comparative perspective. Program 1 begins in Basel, Switzerland and travels to India, China and South Africa. Program 2 begins in Washington, DC and will travel to South Africa, Vietnam and Brazil. Both programs will start in early January 2011 and end in mid-May 2011. The program is designed for students who wish to study the complex issues of health, community, and globalization from a comparative perspective. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and are typically working towards careers in public health, biomedicine, alternative medicine, international and community development and medical anthropology. The program combines homestays with local families, conventional coursework, guest speakers, site visits, and field-based case studies with community activists, government leaders, and representatives of intergovernmental and non- governmental organizations. IHP’s learning model is inquiry-guided and experience-based. We are seeking a complementary team of traveling faculty members who will facilitate learning and each teach two of the following courses (with possible areas of expertise noted): • Health and Globalization (expertise in political economy of health and aspects of globalization that affect health, such as health care reform, trade policy, migration, occupational health) • Public Health: From Biology to Policy (public health practitioner or researcher, clinical or biological background desirable, epidemiology or related field also desirable) • Health, Culture, and Community (medical anthropology or related field) • Community Health Research Methods (experience in community-based research, including participatory methods, qualitative and quantitative methods and interdisciplinary approaches) The ideal candidates should have: a) a Ph.D. (or clinical degree/MPH equivalent) in a related field; b) expertise in two of the topic areas listed above and generalist knowledge across several areas of the curriculum; c) experience teaching at the college level and commitment to incorporating alternative (non-didactic) methods of teaching (i.e. methods that promote inquiry- and field-based learning, discussion, and self-reflection); d) research, practice, or consulting experience related to health in some part of the developing world (specific experience in countries in the program desired); e) the physical stamina, psychosocial health, and sensibilities (flexibility, adaptability, collegiality, cross-cultural competence) needed to effectively participate in an intensive, team-oriented study abroad program in multiple countries, and; f) the ability and desire to support students throughout the study abroad experience both in and outside of the classroom. More information about IHP and the Health and Community Program (including syllabi, itineraries, etc) is available through our website: http://www.ihp.edu Electronic versions of all application materials are required. Please send a letter of interest, along with a full CV, and contact information for three academic references, to: Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spam bots.

In your letter, please pay special attention to how you believe you would handle the conceptual, pedagogical, intercultural and interpersonal demands of a program like IHP’s Health and Community. Deadline: April 26th, 2010 or until filled Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What is the compensation? A: Salary is commensurate with experience, typically in the low 30s for the semester-long program, including preparation work (six-month contract). IHP provides flights, lodging and per diems to cover two meals per day and local transportation, except during the one-week vacation period. Basic accident and sickness insurance is also provided. Q: What is the time commitment? A: This is technically a contracted six-month position, but there is some advance preparation required. Traveling faculty are expected to attend a four or five day planning session over the summer (most likely in August). Ongoing course preparation and remote collaboration with country coordinators and Boston staff happens over the course of the fall. During the program (January to May), faculty teach two courses each and are expected to attend as many site visits, guest lecture sessions and colleague’s classes as possible, so that they are able to help students make connections and relate academic material to experiential components. Weekends are generally free, and there is a week-long vacation about halfway through the program. Candidates should be aware that this is an intensive program with a full schedule. Faculty must commit to participating in a learning community and be willing to spend time with students outside of the classroom. Q: Can I have visitors or bring my family with me? A: Family members are welcome to visit for periods of time during the program with advance notice. However, due to the nature of the position, it is generally not possible for family members to accompany traveling faculty for the full semester. We typically encourage faculty to limit visits by guests to no more than about two weeks, but can make exceptions under special circumstances. Expenses for guests are not covered by IHP. Q: What are the accommodations like? A: IHP is a program in motion, so you will stay in multiple places throughout the semester. Traveling faculty are typically housed in guest houses, simple hotels or homestays (if desired), which are booked by our country coordinators. Whenever possible, we book rooms with wireless internet or nearby access to wireless internet, though connections may sometimes be slow. Phones and SIM cards are provided for in-country calling. Faculty travel with the student group internationally on economy flights and locally by train, bus and public transportation. Q: What kind of support will I have? A: Generally, the traveling leadership team consists of two traveling faculty and a Trustees Fellow. The Trustees Fellow serves multiple roles, including assisting faculty with course preparation, coordinating logistics and acting as a group life facilitator and mentor. In addition, in each country, country coordinators carry out orientations, organize transportation and accommodations, contribute to the academic programming and provide support for both students and the traveling faculty team. It is important that team members share responsibility for the well-being of the group and work collaboratively with each other.
