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

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.
All best,
Valerie
