Possible position in Russian History

[Melissa Frazier]

Dear Colleagues,

Last spring our Russian historian retired and was not replaced.  However:
there is a possibility that some of my colleagues in history might be
interested in using a part-time (either 1/2 for the year or full time for
one semester) sabbatical replacement to bring something in the way of
Russian history back to campus for next year; needless to say, even this
small foot in the door would mean a great deal to my program.  They seem to
want a replacement who would mirror the regular position as closely as
possible -- and the person going on sabbatical does medieval, renaissance
and early modern Western Europe.  So: their idea seems to be a Europeanist
who also does Russia or vice-versa, in other words, they seem to think
Russia alone wouldn't do, and they'd like to hold on to the time frame of
medieval-early modern.  Also:  since this is a part-time, guest position,
we would need someone already in the New York area, for example an advanced
graduate student who would welcome the opportunity to teach.  Would any of
you have any suggestions for candidates, or could you forward this e-mail
on to colleagues who would?  If so, I can be reached at mfrazier at slc.edu.
I emphasize that at the moment this job is only a distant possibility -- if
it becomes more likely, though, it would help if I had some names to pass
on to the historians.

Thank you,
