TWO POSITIONS AT SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL

sciences.  It does this through a wide variety of workshops and conferences,
fellowships and grants, summer training institutes, scholarly exchanges, and
publications.
The Social Science Research Council is currently accepting applications for
the position of program coordinator for its Eurasia program. The program
supports and works through an integrated system of fellowships, language
grants, research planning and various workshops and events. The program
addresses the entire region, including Eastern Europe and the newly
independent states of the former Soviet Union, with a special emphasis on
Central Asia.
The program coordinator's responsibilities include the daily running of a
Title VIII funded fellowship and grant competition (from the initial
publicity phase through case management of awarded fellows) and working on
selected activities initiated by the Regional Advisory Panel on Eurasia.
Both Title VIII and RAP activities include organizing meetings of scholars
and researchers, establishing international collaborative research networks,
and generally working towards developing and supporting the field of
Eurasian studies. The position entails working closely with scholars,
fellows, and committee members, and requires administrative experience,
including the ability to supervise support staff and to prepare financial
and narrative reports. The program coordinator will work closely with, and
report to, the program director for Eurasia.
