INTERNSHIP- Editorial Asst., Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research
Posted by: Serguei Alex. Oushakine <oushakin@Princeton.EDU>
Internship Offer: Editorial Assistant
Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research (Saint Petersburg)
Laboratorium is a new bilingual (Russian/English) scholarly journal
with an international editorial and advisory board. The journal, whose
first issue is scheduled to appear at the end of 2007, will be
published at the Centre for Independent Social Research (CISR) in
Saint Petersburg. Laboratorium will serve as an international,
peer-reviewed forum for the publication and discussion of empirical
social research, and will endeavour to facilitate scholarly
communication between social scientists from the former Soviet Union
and other countries.
The editors and the CISR are offering one internship position in Saint
Petersburg starting 1 September 2008 (for a period of six months,
which may be extended). The intern will report to the editor-in-chief,
Mischa Gabowitsch (Princeton University), and managing editor, Nadya
Nartova (CISR). He or she will be required to assist with editorial
and proof-reading tasks and do a limited amount of Russian-English
translation. In return, the intern will be offered full use of the
research facilities at the CISR in Saint Petersburg and assistance
with his/her own research. This position is ideally suited for a
doctoral student doing research in Saint Petersburg, although other
candidates are also encouraged to apply. The workload will be moderate
(1-2 days/week on average), and working hours flexible, leaving ample
time for research activities; however, it may be unevenly spread
throughout the internship, with more and less intensive periods.
Requirements:
- native or near-native speaker of English
- editorial and proof-reading experience, with a firm grasp of the
differences between American and British English
- good reading knowledge of Russian
- familiarity with social science terminology in both languages
- resident in Saint Petersburg (interns based elsewhere may be
considered, see below)
Benefits:
- workplace at the CISR office with PC and internet connection which
may also be used for own research
- support from CISR staff with the intern's research project; the
intern will also be able to use the Centre's library and archive, draw
on its large network of contacts across the former Soviet Union and
elsewhere, and participate in all its seminars and conferences
- the intern will be credited in every issue of the journal to which
he he/she contributes
- visa support and help with registration
There is no financial remuneration.
Applications should include a CV and covering letter, as well as proof
of social science background and editorial experience. If you wish to
spend all or most of the internship period outside Saint Petersburg,
please state where you will be based and which other activities you
intend to pursue during that time.
Applications, and any inquiries, should be addressed to Nadia Nartova
(nartova@indepsocres.spb.ru) or, before 10 July, to Mischa Gabowitsch
(gabowitsch@gmail.com). The deadline for applications is 25 July 2007.
The intern will be selected by interview (in person or by telephone):
please indicate a telephone number at which you can be reached in late
July/early August.
