>UMaine’s Department of Communication & Journalism has an exciting and rapidly
developing graduate program<http://cmj.umaine.edu/graduate-program/> and we
would love to hear from you about your graduate plans to see if we might be a
good fit for each other.  Maine currently has 11 graduate faculty, including
tenure, tenure-track, or cooperating members.  We have 24 graduate students,
including 18 funded students, 16 on teaching assistantships.  We have 6 PhDs
(our doctoral program is 4 years old) and are on pace to have a 50/50 split of
funded masters and doctoral students in two years, if not next year.  Our first
doctoral graduate began her tenure-track appointment at UNC-Wilmington this
Fall.  Our Masters students are regularly admitted to the top doctoral programs
around the country or begin careers in the private and public sectors.  We
strive to create a balanced program where MAs and PhDs all are given the
attention they deserve.  We also are part of an exciting interdisciplinary
initiative on sustainability funded by NSF (see below). We offer a
masters<http://cmj.umaine.edu/graduate-program/2/> with tracks in  Communication
and Mass Communication that has an excellent completion rate.  Our  MAs have
been very successful at landing in nationally recognized doctoral  programs or
in finding post-graduate employment. We offer a
doctorate<http://cmj.umaine.edu/graduate-program/3/> with an  interdisciplinary
concentration.  PhDs combine a substantial program of  Communication or Mass
Communication courses with a concentration in fields such  as Disability
Studies, English, History, Psychology, or Women’s Studies.  We are  in the
process of establishing concentrations in Sustainability Science and  other
fields.  Doctoral students can design concentrations as well. Speaking of
sustainability, in 2009, the University of Maine was awarded a $20M  EPSCoR
grant to found the Sustainability Solutions Initiative
(SSI)<http://www.umaine.edu/sustainabilitysolutions/>.  Bringing together over
15 different disciplines, SSI is designed to produce research in partnership
with community stakeholders with the overarching of creating sustainable
socio-ecological and economic systems.  Professor Laura Lindenfeld, one of our
graduate faculty and a member of the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center, is
directing the Knowledge to Action research team on the grant.  Communication &
Journalism currently has several PhD and Masters students connected with the
SSI. If you are thinking finishing your bachelors and considering graduate
school or  if you are putting together materials for doctoral programs, please
contact me  to find more about our program.  I happy to chat any time. If you
are going to NCA this year, Maine will have a booth at the Grad Open  House,
#18, on Sunday from 1-4 in the HIlton Grand Ballroom.  Please come by to  talk.
Sincerely, Nathan Stormer, Graduate Coordinator Mark and Marcia Bailey

Looking for a SME for a project on post-Soviet transitions

I am currently preparing an application for a Marie Curie IAPP (Industry
Academia Partnership and Pathways) and we are short of one partner.

The project explores the role of informality in political and economic
transformation of some former USSR republics (Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) after 1991. It includes some elements of research
and training for involved fellows

We are specifically looking for

a private sector partner (no NGO) based in the EU or in an associate country
(Norway, Serbia, Turkey, Iceland, Switzerland). Private sector partner is an
organization gaining the majority of its revenues through exposure to market
competition (consultancies, research companies and many more are eligible, as
long as they earn 51% of their revenue through commercial means)

with interest in post-Soviet affairs (broadly defined, you will be able to
develop your own research in the framework of the project objectives

willing to second some of its staff to other universities for training and
willing to host some researchers (not more than 1-2 per year over a 48 month
period). Secondment is paid 100% by the project


NB Unfortunately single researchers and NGOs are not eligible for this scheme


If you think your company/organization fits this profile please get back to me
as soon as possible. The deadline is in a month and there are a few documents we
need to prepare.

Thank you

Abel
