[Daviscenter-list] Summer research assistant available

Dear all, I am forwarding below an email from Valerie Sperling, one of our associates who teaches at Clark University, who has a student interested in working this summer as a research assistant. She is native Romanian, also fluent in French and English, but alas no Russian. If you are interested, feel free to contact her directly. Best, Lis -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Summer Research Assistant position? Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:14:24 -0400 From: Valerie Sperling <vsperling(a)clarku.edu> To: Lisbeth L. Tarlow <tarlow(a)fas.harvard.edu> Dear Lis, I have a wonderful student at Clark (she'll be a senior next year) named Oana Chimina, who is looking for work this summer as a research assistant. She's Romanian, and speaks/writes fluent English and French, in addition to her native tongue. She's a straight-A student with excellent research and writing skills, and an abiding interest in Russia and in international relations. She's just been accepted into our department's honors program, and will be writing a senior honors thesis on Russia and the EU next year. She would love to find a faculty member to work with this summer. She'll be living in Worcester, but has a car and would be happy to commute to Cambridge to work as a research assistant. She would appreciate being paid, but would even work for free if necessary -- she just wants an intellectual challenge, and to have something worthwhile to occupy her between the end of May and early August (when she plans to return to Romania for a month to visit her family). If the Davis Center has any scholars of Romania who could use an extremely bright research assistant this summer, or anyone who works with materials in French (or English) and could use Oana's help, I'd appreciate it if you could circulate this message to them. Oana can be reached best via email, at ochimina(a)clarku.edu.
