Educational, Administrative
and Teaching Opportunities
in United Arab Emirates

Following are excerpts of a communication from Gerry Della Mat-
tia to Bill Day. Gerry is presently Vice Chancellor of the Higher
Colleges of Technology in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

February 27, 1989
Dear Bill and all:

A quick note to let you know that we are in the midst of recruiting
for the 1989 school year. The deadline for applications in Canada is
March 15 so if there is anyone at Douglas who is interested, they
should apply quickly. I have been told that there has been a good
deal of interest in Canada but most of it is coming from Ontario.
Maybe it is because nobody has let you in B.C. know about it.

There is soon to be an announcement that there will be two new
colleges next year. A men’s and a women’s college both located in
Dubai, probably the major commercial centre in the Emirates. This
will mean that we will need 2 new college Directors (Principals), plus
8 or 9 Division Heads (Deans), several Program Supervisors (Depart-
ment Heads), and a number of Faculty. Faculty will be needed in
English (ESL), Business, Office Administration, Computer Studies,
Health Sciences, Mathematics and Physics, Accounting, Information
Systems, and Electronics, Chemical and Aviation Technologies. Not
all new people will be assigned to Dubai as there will be some of the
existing personnel who will be reassigned to that city. Some of the
new recruits will be appointed to fill the resulting vacancies in the ex-
isting colleges.

In addition to college directors, the administrative positions avail-
able are: Technology, Academic, Health, Business, and
Communications Division heads; Electronics, Computer Technology,
Business Admin., Accounting, Marketing,, English (ESL) and Foun-
dations Supervisors.

If anyone wishes to contact me for more information on either the
vacancies or the general situation here, I would be glad to speak to
them. I might even be a good idea if anyone does decide to apply to
let me know so that I can provide a recommendation. My home num-
ber is: 011-971-2-216-947. My office number is:
011-971-2-341-153. Please remember that our time is 12 hours
ahead of yours! I don’t function very well at 2:00 a.m.!

Applications with full resume should be sent to:
