MAIN THEMES of the conference will be indigenous health issues; economics and health financing; travel and health; emerging and re-emerging diseases; and participatory action research. There will also be special interest group sessions covering a wide range of topics. SUMMARY: As the 20th century comes to a close, it is timely to reflect on international health and development. New technologies (eg diagnostic tests), new approaches to disease control (eg community participation or participatory action research) and recent research (eg vaccine development) provide opportunities for improving health and development in the next decades. However, new diseases (eg ebola), re-emerging diseases (eg tuberculosis, diphtheria), old unconquered diseases (eg malaria, dengue), diseases related to urbanisation and poorly planned development and tourism, and inequitable allocation of resources, threaten many people's health. The conference will review these issues as well as the costs and benefits of present and new programmes for health and development.

Although no final decision has yet been taken, I am taking the liberty of posting this announcement because a competition for a position at the MNHN requires two steps: a) Registration on a list (DEADLINE 17 JANUARY 1997); b) The competition itself, which will be announced later. The competition for the position will be open only to applicants who are registered on the list. As the successful applicant for this (possible) position will require at least some knowledge of French, the remainder of this message is in French. ------- Ouverture possible d'un poste de Maitre de Conferences au Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France, Laboratoire de Biologie Parasitaire. Preambule: aucune certitude n'existe sur l'ouverture d'un tel poste, et ceci ne constitue absolument pas l'annonce officielle ou officieuse d'un tel poste. Neanmoins, le systeme de la "Liste de Qualification aux Fonctions de Maitre de Conferences du Museum" avec date de cloture au 17 JANVIER 97 me pousse a poster cette annonce. Si le poste est reellement cree, il sera annonce APRES la cloture de l'inscription sur la liste et il sera trop tard pour ceux qui ne seront pas inscrits sur la liste, quelles que soient leurs qualites! Le poste concerne sera un poste de "Maitre de Conferences du Museum", salaire environ 10000 FF net/mois (+ supplement familial, allocations familiales, etc). Apres un stage de deux ans, le candidat pourra etre titularise dans ce poste. La nationalite francaise n'est PAS obligatoire pour concourir. Specialites scientifiques concernees: SYSTEMATIQUE DES PARASITES (helminthes et/ou protozoaires parasites). Procedure pour le concours (ceci n'est pas le texte officiel mais une explication en termes non administratifs, en particulier pour les candidats non francais): 1. Premiere etape, indispensable pour pouvoir presenter un dossier a l'etape 2: Inscription sur la "Liste de Qualification aux Fonctions de Maitre de Conferences du Museum". Le candidat doit remplir trois formulaires (A2, B2 et C2) et fournir une photocopie de piece d'identite, deux enveloppes timbrees, une attestation de these ou diplome de niveau equivalent. Le dossier comprend aussi un curriculum vitae en francais et un maximum de trois documents (articles scientifiques ou these). Tous les documents administratifs doivent etre traduits en francais. Ce dossier est a la fois administratif et scientifique et sera examine par deux rapporteurs. Lorsque l'inscription est acquise, elle est valable quatre ans. Les formulaires et dossiers complets sont disponibles aupres de: Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Service du Personnel 57 rue Cuvier 75005 Paris Le dossier complet doit ARRIVER au MNHN avant le 17 JANVIER 1997. Je peux eventuellement aider des candidats en leur envoyant des dossiers a remplir. 2. Deuxieme etape, SI le poste est publie (je rappelle que rien n'est decide) Le candidat devra fournir un nouveau dossier, relativement similaire au precedent. Il devra ensuite se presenter devant un jury (appelle "Commission des Specialistes") pendant dix-quinze minutes.

La presentation orale doit etre en langue francaise. Je reste a la disposition des candidats pour tout renseignement supplementaire.
