IREX Internet Fellowships in the NIS

The International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) announces possible professional fellowship opportunities to expand computer network access among scholars and non-commercial civic groups in sites across the NIS, and invites interested candidates to send preliminary letters of interest and resumes.

IREX was established in 1968 to promote scholarly cooperation with Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet region. IREX programs deliver a broad range of services to scholars, professionals, and policy-makers from the U.S. and an array of partner countries.

These would be year-long, full-time placements for American networking specialists with strong regional backgrounds. Up to seven Fellowship sites will be selected from cities throughout all the regions of the NIS.

The mission of the Internet Fellowships is to recruit and train local networking trainers and to promote the sustainable use of computer networks among academic and non-commercial organizations.

IREX is looking for candidates with:

* Broad computer skills, including training experience and strong Internet background.

* Professional-level Russian language ability. Knowledge of other languages of the NIS is helpful.

* Some NIS living and/or working experience.

* A high level of initiative and mature judgement. Proven managerial/organizational talent and ability to work with diverse communities.

Inquiries and letters of interest should be directed to mailto:<interfel@info.irex.org>, or faxed to:

Tony Byrne or Bill Fick / Olga Galkina Senior Program Officer Program Officers IREX/Washington IREX/Moscow Fax: + 202-628-8189 Fax: + 7-095-202-44-49

IREX will announce a formal application process and fellowship terms and solicit final applications at a later date.
