FYI

Dear all

The Medical Anthropology Young Scholars (MAYS) network of the EASA is
looking for one new coordinator from July 2017.

We currently have more than 500 members from all over the world and we keep
on growing! Through MAYS, young scholars in medical anthropology have the
opportunity to exchange their ideas and discuss their work in the pleasant
peer-atmosphere of our annual meetings.

The main work of MAYS coordination consists in the management of the MAYS
Google group, updating the website, and, which certainly is the most fun,
organizing the annual conference. Of course, there are all kinds of other
things one could think of, but that’s all up to the new coordinators.
MAYS coordinators simultaneously function as student representatives in the
board of the Medical Anthropology Network (MAN) within EASA.
For more info see our website: www.mays-easa.org

There are basically no requirements you have to fulfil other than being a
PhD student in medical anthropology but it is certainly very helpful to
have the backup of an anthropological institution, that could also, for
instance, host a future annual MAYS conference.


*The deadline for sending in your application is May 25th!*
Here are 5 good reasons why you should consider becoming a MAYS coordinator:

1.    You get to turn your ideas regarding medical anthropology into
concrete events that inspire many other students.

2.    You learn a lot about event organization and networking.

3.    You get to know lots of amazing people and significantly enlarge your
professional network.

4.    You will always have experienced MAYS-veterans (Claire Beaudevin,
Susann Huschke, Katerina Ferkov, Dominik Mattes, Judith Schuehle, Natashe
Lemos-Dekker, Mari Lo Bosco) by your side and you get to profit from the
great work that Lilian Kennedy, your co-coordinator, does!

5.    It’s great for your CV – not just in academia!

*How to apply*

If you want to get more actively engaged in MAYS, please write a short
e-mail to [log in to unmask] with a short CV (just a few lines on your
academic career/status and institutional affiliation) and your ideas for
MAYS.
This application will then be circulated among all MAYS members and will be
the basis for members to vote. The online elections will then take place
from June 1st until June 10th and the new coordinator will be announced at
the 8th MAYS annual conference in Edinburgh (15-16 June 2017).

Please do not hesitate to write if you have any further specific questions,
we’ll be happy to tell you more about the fun that being a MAYS coordinator
entails!

We are very much looking forward to hearing from you!

Mari Lo Bosco and Lilian Kennedy
