John
Thank you for posting this position on internatonal listservs.

I have 2 questions:
1. I noted that the position was only "Available to Australian citizens and
permanent residents, or those with a current visa allowing employment".   I
presume this is strictly adhered to and that attaining a current visa would
be impossible before the March 28th deadline.
2.  The position is "fixed term".  Could you define that more - what is the
term? And when is it?

I am interested in that position.  I hold a PhD from the University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, where I studied at the Institute of
Health Promotion Research.  My supervisor was Dr. Larry Green, who I believe
has held visiting scholar positions at your university.   I was an
independent researcher for many years before completing my Phd in 2001 and
therefore have vast experience in health promotion and public and population
health.  I have had much experience in the  areas of alcohol and tobaco,
social determinants of health, and so on.  I am curently involved in a
number of studies, including an examination of health of immigrant and
refugee children, diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome, study of ethical
reviews of community based research.

Thanks,
Anne George
