Comments: Institutional contacts: According to applicant's interests, directly contact Prof. Subas K.C., dean, KU School of Management, subaskecee@kusom.edu.np; Dr. Chet Raj Pant, associate dean KU School of Medical Sciences, kums@ku.edu.np; or Dr. Bhadraman Tuladhar, registrar, registrar@ku.edu.np for all other fields. Correspondents should also copy Ms. Jyoti Pradhan at jyotipradhan@ku.edu.np. Kathmandu University Web site: www.ku.edu.np. Instruction at the medical school emphasizes problem-based and community-based learning. KU's main campus, where the departments other than business and education are located, is in Dhulikhel, 30 km. (60 minutes' drive) east of central Kathmandu. Grantees who teach there generally live in Kathmandu and commute, although it may also be possible to arrange modest, spartan housing on campus for part- or full-time residence. Grantees are encouraged to bring books and other instructional materials with them. Grantees should also bring their own laptops. The School of Management has Internet-connected PCs for student use in the library.
