[Daviscenter-list] Davis Center Job Announcement Follow-up

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
