running of a Title VIII funded fellowship and grant
competition (from the initial publicity phase through case

and generally working towards developing and supporting the
field of Eurasian studies. The position entails working
closely with scholars, fellows, and foundation officers, and

proposals and financial and narrative reports.

The Program Officer will work closely with, and report to,
the Program Director for Eurasia.

Eurasian Studies. Recent Ph.D.'s are especially encouraged
to apply. Fluency in Russian and/or one of the languages of
the FSU is an important additional qualification. There are
no citizenship requirements. Salary is commensurate with
experience and qualifications, and includes an attractive
benefits package, which supports professional development of
staff members.

vitae, several samples of written work, and the name and
