I wish to hire a student research assistant in support of a survey project exploring the the connection between Russians’ current attachment to their country and their country’s experience in the 1990s.
The student would be asked to provide roughly 50 hours of support between January or February and the end of April. Tasks would include searching through and summarizing secondary literature and web-based materials and assisting in the design of questions to be added to a survey to be administered by an independent pollster in May or June.
The ideal candidate would have strong Russian language skills, be interested in contemporary Russian society and politics, and have strong communication and writing skills.
Requirements
Unless restricted by certain visa status, all students with an active status for the semester are eligible for jobs on campus.
Students on leave or withdrawn are not eligible to work in student employment positions until the semester in which they return. If you are currently withdrawn or on leave you are eligible to be employed in staff positions.
Some may be restricted due to financial aid status. International students (non-resident aliens) may not work off campus unless they have applied for and received work authorization from the United States government. (An F-1 visa does not give work authorization.) Off campus work study positions are available only to U.S. citizens on financial aid with a federal work study component.
Student are not eligible to work remotely from International locations.
All student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week in on campus jobs during the academic year (this includes exam periods). The only exception is when there is a full week when school is not in session. Specifically: February recess, Spring recess, and full weeks of December or summer recess. During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week. International Students: Visa restrictions prohibit international students from exceeding 20 hours of work per academic calendar week.
