BELTRAIDE/UB seek Belizean Ph.d’s

Belizeans at home lament that some of our most well educated have left for greener pastures. Those abroad often wish they could come back and put their knowledge to good use in developing the country. Now the Belize Trade and Investment Development Service, BELTRAIDE is looking for Belizean Ph.d’s to become partially or fully attached to the new University of Belize. The Business Professorship Program will initially focus on the areas of math, physics, chemistry and biology. There will be a meeting in Belize next month to discuss the conditions and implementation of the program which they hope to begin in September. BELTRAIDE says so far several Belizean professionals working in the United States have expressed interest. BELTRAIDE is inviting the general public to contact friends and family abroad who have the relevant qualifications and to submit the names of those who are interested in participating in the first phase of the program. You can contact Adelina Jeffrey at the BELTRAIDE office in Belmopan. The email address is beltraide@belize.gov.bz.
