Dear Colleagues,
I am writing in follow-up to a previous email sent by Lis Tarlow. Lis
and Professor Zvi Gitelman, of the University of Michigan, are
co-directing a project looking at the most recent (post-1989)
Russian-speaking Jewish migration to Israel, Germany, and the U.S. The
project will focus on the impact of this diaspora on the politics,
economics, and culture of both the sending and the receiving countries,
as well as reexamine the concepts of diaspora and identity in light of
this phenomenon. The major components of the project will be an
international conference in fall 2011 and an edited volume, as well as
some smaller seminars and panel discussions leading up to the conference.
We are looking to hire a part-time project assistant, to begin as soon
as possible.
Our ideal candidate, in addition to having the skills necessary to
support this project, will have the flexibility to work part-time for
almost two years. We are looking for someone who has demonstrated
organizational and project management skills as well as excellent
interpersonal, communications, editing and writing skills.
Attached is the job description. I would be grateful if you would post
this in your department and/or circulate it electronically to your
community. If you happen know of people who might be interested, please
have them contact me directly at altamore(a)fas.harvard.edu.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Maria Altamore
Administrative Officer

*2010 Teaching Fellowship Program for Eurasian and Eastern European Studies*
IREX is pleased to announce its *2010 Teaching Fellowship Program for
Eurasian and Eastern European Studies*, a program designed by IREX to
expand the field of Eurasian and Eastern European area studies to
accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) throughout the United States.
The program will award *individual fellowships of up to $12,000* *to*
*current adjunct or full-time professors* to develop and teach an
introductory course in this field at a local HBCU or HSI for an academic
semester (fall 2010 and/or spring 2011) with the possibility of
receiving additional funding for a follow-on course during the second
semester. Additionally, the Teaching Fellow will liaise directly with
administrators of his/her home institution and the HBCU/HSI to develop a
sustainable institutional partnership.
The primary goal of the program is to broaden and diversify the field of
area studies by introducing Eurasian and/or Eastern European courses on
the home campuses of local HBCUs and HSIs that traditionally have not
had the resources to offer such coursework. Students who enroll in these
courses will ultimately be encouraged to continue their studies and
pursue careers in this field.
* *
*Eligible candidates* will be required to:
a) Be U.S. citizens or permanent residents;
b) Be current adjunct or full-time professors **
