Epidemiologist أطباء بلا حدود

           

Employer: Médecins Sans Frontières

Deadline for applications: Sunday, February 12, 2017

Contract: 

• Other

Location: Field work / MSF projects worldwide (NOT for Lebanon)

Working area:

JOB DESCRIPTION

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / أطباء بلا حدود is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people in 70 countries who are affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation and our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of neutrality and impartiality.

We offer basic healthcare, perform surgery, fight epidemics, rehabilitate and run hospitals and clinics, carry out vaccination campaigns, operate nutrition centers, and provide mental healthcare. Our activities include the treatment of injuries and disease, maternal care and the provision of humanitarian aid. Where necessary, we set up sanitation systems, supply safe drinking water, and distribute relief to assist survival.

Working overseas with (MSF) means that you will go to work in projects in any of the countries where MSF works. Each project you go to will require a certain period of commitment (6 to 12 months). It also means that you will need the flexibility to adjust to unfamiliar food, living quarters, pace of life, and languages. Projects may be located in the most remote places in the world, often in harsh environments with limited resources and amenities.

Regardless of where you go, it might be a very different lifestyle. Working in an unfamiliar culture inevitably involves challenges in communication and perceptions. Being aware that people may not act or think like you, accepting this, and being able to adapt your own behaviors if required, is of utmost importance when working in the field. A special camaraderie emerges amongst members of a project team who come from different countries, backgrounds and experience. This creates a shared sense of purpose, sparking ingenuity and resourcefulness in getting things done, and a lot of spontaneous fun.

Support Children's Education Teach For Lebanon Seventh Cohort

Position: Seventh Cohort
Institution: Teach For Lebanon
Country: Lebanon
Deadline: Jun-05-15

Teach For Lebanon Recruiting its Seventh Cohort

Are you a fresh graduate who is willing to dedicate two years to support children's education? Maybe you’re planning to pursue your Masters Degree, or perhaps targeting a job in a foreign country where you imagine your future more prosperous.

What about pausing for two years and giving yourself the chance to share in building the future of children in your country? We, at Teach for Lebanon (TFL), can give you this opportunity.

Teach For Lebanon is a Lebanese NGO which was established in 2008, when Ali Dimashkieh, deeply concerned about educational inequality in Lebanon, learned about a new international education reform initiative called Teach For All, which has affiliates in 26 countries. After some study, Dimashkieh conceived a “Teach For-” initiative in Lebanon, and Teach for Lebanon was born. A bit over a year later, Teach for Lebanon sent its first newly trained cohort of Fellows off to teach in remote rural schools.

We recruit fresh graduates from different majors and train them through a six-week summer institute to be well prepared for the mission which is eliminating educational inequality in Lebanon while fostering youth leadership.

Our "Fellows" have impacted the lives of more than 3200 children at schools scattered all over Lebanon: Gebrayel, Bakhoun, Barsa, Maaroub, Arde, Saida, Ansar, Halba, Hasbaya, Rashaya, Douma Ibrine, Chikka and Abbaseyeh.

Khairieh El Hariri, a Fellow currently teaching at Saida Generation School, says that “There is nothing rewarding than planting the seed of knowledge so that students can grow their own tree of knowledge. That's why I'm here!"

George Saliba, a TFL Alumnus who currently is the Human Resources Manager at TFL, talks about Teach For Lebanon as a dynamic Lebanese youth movement committed to reform in the rural educational system in Lebanon. He believes that TFL has given him the chance to "be a role model for our country’s youth while contributing to a promising future.”

Nada Jreidini, a cohort 6 Fellow who is currently teaching at Paradis D’enfant says "My dream was to become a teacher and help my community. Teach For Lebanon has offered me both; a fact that made those dreams come true."

Laurice Chammas teaches at Chekka Maronite School explains that "Being a member at Teach For Lebanon family gave me the opportunity to be part of a change I want to see in my country."

TFL is recruiting now. If you think you might be interested in this mission, don’t hesitate to apply. Please visit our website www.teachforlebanon.org and fill in the application online. You can also follow us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TFLebanon, or tweet with us on twitter.
