Post-doctoral research assistantships at Bristol

[RA Coates, Russian]

Dear colleagues

I am writing at the request of my colleague Professor Derek Offord to 
advertise two three-year post-doctoral research assistantships at the 
University of Bristol, UK. The posts are advertised on jobs.ac.uk at 
<http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ACK310/postdoctoral-research-assistants-in-russian-two-posts/>. 
The closing date for applications is 21 April 2011.

Description:

You will be part of a research team in the Department of Russian, working 
under the direction of Professor Derek Offord on a multidisciplinary 
project wholly funded by the AHRC on 'The History of the French Language in 
Russia'. You will have completed a PhD thesis in some area of Russian 
studies and will have an excellent reading knowledge of Russian and French. 
Preference will be given to candidates with expertise in either 
sociolinguistics and the history of the Russian language or 
pre-revolutionary Russian social or cultural history.

You will help write and edit the main outputs of the project, to develop 
and manage the project website and to organize and contribute to the main 
academic events (a seminar series and two conferences) arising out of the 
project. You will be able to work well in a close-knit research team. These 
appointments will be for three years from 1 August 2011 to 31 July 2014.

If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a permanent 
contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research 
experience. Further information can be found at 
www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/.

Best wishes
Ruth Coates
