In addition to the meetings, we can offer the oppurtunity to be a full member of an international network with some very interesting links all over the globe.</p> <p>In return, applicants are expected to post at least one blog entry or event per week which relates to their research, work, or ethics in Mother-Child Health, in addition to commenting on each other's posts and recruiting collegues to register on the network. </p> <p>The preferred methods to apply for the position are to <a href="http://www.mother-child.org/user/register">register an account on the Mother-Child network</a> and then either leave a comment on this post with your username, or to contact me through my profile page on the Mother-Child site. </p> <p>An alternate, less desirable method is to email me directly.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mother-child.org/first_edition_of_the_mother_child_health_international_research_network_newsletter">More details are available here.</a></p> http://ways.org/en/2006/nov/02/2351/stevenmansour/the_mother_child_network_is_looking_for_champions#comments child infants mother Mother-Child Mother-Child Health International Research Network newborns oppurtunities oppurtunity perinatal position research travel volunteer http://ways.org/en/crss/node/246 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 23:51:37 -0500 stevenmansour 246 at http://ways.org
