*****************************************************************
Civic Education Project (CEP) is once again looking for individu-
als  who are interested in spending a year teaching  at  institu-
tions  of higher learning in Central and Eastern Europe  and  the
NIS. CEP is an international not-for-profit organization  devoted
to  the  strengthening  of democracy in Eastern  Europe  and  the
former  Soviet  Union through the revitalization  of  the  social
sciences in universities and institutes of higher education.

Through its visiting professor program, CEP sends Western-trained scholars to teach and advise at universities in Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.

Teaching assignments are initially for one year, during which lecturers teach university-level courses in economics, history, law, political science, public administration, and sociology, and also work on outreach and research. Lectures are conducted in English, and transportation, housing, insurance, teaching materi- als and a living stipend are provided to program participants. Faculty and advanced graduate students are encouraged to apply. Write for a brochure/application packet. Applications are cur- rently being accepted for the 1996-97 program year.

Applications can be requested at the postal and/or electronic addresses below. However, in order to speed up the application process and save valuable resources that can be better spent in the region, please consider obtaining the application online.

The easiest way to do this is to view the CEP brochure at our WWW site (http://cep.nonprofit.net/). The brochure can be found at http://cep.nonprofit.net/brochure.html and that page has a point- er to the application form itself which is available in digital form via FTP.

If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with using the online version of the application, you can also request a paper copy by filling out the form at

http://cep.nonprofit.net/requestform.html

Using that form to request a paper copy will significantly speed up the information request process.

A longer description of CEP can be obtained automatically by sending email to mailto:info@cep.nonprofit.net. To find out how you can obtain an application (including several online options) send email to mailto:application@cep.nonprofit.net. In both cases you will receive an automated reply.
