Dear Davis Center Affiliates:
I am writing to ask your help in advertising a new position at the Davis
Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. Professor Zvi Gitelman, of the
University of Michigan, and I are co-directing a project on 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. We are looking to hire a part-time project assistant, to begin
as soon as possible.
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
feel free to send any names to Maria Altamore at 617-495-1181,
altamore(a)fas.harvard.edu <mailto:jgabel@fas.harvard.edu>, or have them
contact Maria directly.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Lisbeth Tarlow
Associate Director, Davis Center
