Employment opportunity for teachers of russian

[Andrew Kaufman]

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO RAD STUDENTS AND LECTURERS

I'm under contract with a major American trade press to write an 
introductory Russian language and phrase book. I am seeking a graduate 
student or lecturer to help write several chapters (8-12 chapters, ranging 
from 15 to 22 pages each). 

I need somebody with native conversational knowledge of Russian who has 
experience teaching Russian to Americans and who can write easily and 
quickly in conversational (non-academic) English. Preferably a native 
speaker of Russian who has lived here. 

This is NOT an academic book, and it would need  to be completed very 
quickly. So if you have any journalism experience, that would be a plus.

The project would have to be completed by December of this year, which 
means that you would have to commit to it for the next several months--not 
full time, of course, but roughly 20 hours a week. If you do this, it's 
absolutely essential that you will be able to find the time to do it. 
Deadlines are very strict and are tied to financial compensation.

Pay would be around $350-500/chapter, depending on qualifications.

If interested, please send a brief cover letter and CV to Andy Kaufman at 
akaufman at virginia.edu

   

thanks.
