Democracy, Governance and Curbing Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
Location: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
An international conference organized by the Master of Public Administration Program, in collaboration with The African & Caribbean Business Council.
While other regions of the world are making strides in improving the living standards of their citizens, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is still trapped in poverty with more than 40% of its 600 million people living below the internationally recognised absolute poverty level of US$ 1 per day. Several reports highlight corruption as one of the institutional and systemic problems responsible for keeping million of Africans under absolute poverty. In fact, the 2008 Transparency International report demonstrates a direct link between corruption and failure of societal institutions to effectively achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in SSA. It is a serious concern that the goals of halving poverty in SSA by the year 2015 from the level of 1990 will not be met.
For additional information including call for papers, registration and lodging, please visit the conference website at: http://www.cheyney.edu/international-anticorruption/index.cfm

If you are interested in continuing on with research after your PhD, then you have probably been thinking about postdocs. You have probably also been contemplating the best way to find the right postdoc for you.
· will it be advertised?
· will you have to approach PI’s to ‘make your own postdoc’?
· when should you start looking?
· are there international opportunities you should consider?
· how do you know when you have found the right opportunity?
· and what should your postdoc experience give you to help you along your chosen career path?
This discussion panel will feature Penn postdocs from different disciplines who will talk about their own experiences looking for postdocs, provide advice on what you can do when you start your search, and answer any questions you have on where and how you can seek out postdoc opportunities. This panel discussion will be a valuable resource for anyone considering a postdoc once they have finished with their PhD – even if you are still several years from finishing up right now.

When you are on the academic job market, you will need to be able to talk about your research to both specialists and non-specialists in a clear, concise and interesting manner, and in a variety of different venues. What do you say? How long should you talk? How specific should you be? What is the goal? In this workshop, career counselors will explore the different venues where you might have to talk about your research during the job hunt, and will give some suggestions for preparing to talk about your research in a variety of different settings. Then, you’ll practice doing so…
The PowerPoint used for this presentation will be available after the workshop.
Here are some additional resources to get you thinking about how to talk about your research:
· I touch briefly on the importance of talking effectively about your research in this blog (https://ulife.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/blog/?p=595)
· The challenges of answering the “tell us about your dissertation” question are discussed in this blog too (http://chronicle.com/blognetwork/tenuredradical/2010/12/tell-us-about-your-dissertation-and/)
· And if you are wondering how best to boil down the key aspects of your research to make it interesting and understandable to a broad audience, would you be able to identify the most important aspect of your research if someone were to ask you this question today?
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.

ANNOUNCING A TALK ON EMERGENCY CARE IN AFRICA:
"Where there is no Ambulance: Emergency Care in Low-Resource Areas of South Africa and Beyond"
Jared Sun, PhD (Univ of Cape Town), Yale Medical School
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Abstract: With increasing industrialization and urbanization, accidents, violence and emergencies are quickly becoming one of the leading causes of death in Sub-Saharan Africa, and are already the second leading cause of death there among adolescents and adults. However, pre-hospital emergency medical systems are almost non-existent in Africa, and current models of emergency medical systems from Western countries are too expensive for developing countries to supportmeaning that many will die for want of basic first aid and/or transportation. In response, governments in Africa are exploring new, innovative options for pre-hospital emergency care. This talk explores the problems that these countries face, potential solutions on the horizon, and the future of emergency care in Sub-Saharan Africa.
About the Speaker: Jared Sun graduated from Stanford University and completed a Fulbright the following year in Cape Town, South Africa, where he also obtained a PhD in Emergency Medicine at the University of Cape Town and researched pre-hospital care in developing countries. He currently studies at the Yale School of Medicine, and is on the editorial board for the African Journal of Emergency Medicine. Jared trained as an EMT in high school after being incorrectly registered for what he thought was a lifeguard training course.

Over the last few months many of you have been exploring possible careers in the consulting industry. There are many scientists and engineers who go on to become successful consultants, but consulting is not for everyone. If you are looking for ways to make use of your extensive hands-on research expertise in more applied settings, then working in the biotech start-up field may be a good option for you. Indeed, with a little business smarts, you can even be a founder of your very own start-up!
Join us for this panel discussion to learn about what scientific research looks like in a start-up environment, and whether this might be a good fit for your future career path. Come and explore another career option open to you where your academic research skills are highly valued. Four panelists with diverse start-up experience will talk about their own journeys into the start-up world, how they adapted to the faster-paced environment, what their average day looks like, and how you might be able to get your foot in one of the many start-up doors that exist in the local Philadelphia region and beyond. You can find out just how much business know-how you need to succeed (an MBA or not), and what job security and benefits are like as an employee or founder of these types of organizations.
Whether you know little about the start-up culture, or know for sure that you want to be involved, come and participate in this career exploration to gain additional insights into start-up opportunities and get your questions answered.
