Dear AoIR colleagues, I am a relatively new research scholar with a recently completed doctorate, and I am currently exploring opportunities that can help me network and collaborate with others who share similar or complementary research interests to mine. As such, I am interested in short-term research and/or teaching fellowships or visiting scholar opportunities which would allow me to develop a collaborative research program with researchers from the host or sponsor institution. I am asking for your help in identifying such opportunities if you are aware of any. The primary domain of my research is social informatics, and specifically, my current research areas include web and enterprise social computing (including social media), online communities, web analytics, knowledge management practices, and the adoption of business intelligence technologies. More information on my current and past research projects is available at http://www.umar.biz. I appreciate any help that you can provide in identifying new scholar opportunities in the research areas highlighted above. Also, any suggestions or advice for a new scholar are welcome. Sincerely, Umar Ruhi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Umar Ruhi, MBA, PhD, FCIM Assistant Professor, Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
