Internship Positions - Washington, DC

(The Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies will have research internship positions open for fall, 2000. Please apply according to the instructions below by August 1, 2000.)

The Kennan Institute offers paid Research Assistantships throughout the year for undergraduate, graduate, and prospective graduate students who are either U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Each Research Assistant works directly with a scholar in residence at the Institute on that scholar's research project over a period of three to nine months. Applicants must have a good command of the Russian language, good organizational skills, and be able to conduct independent research.

This research internship offers a flexible schedule of 15 hours per week, a stipend, and a metro subsidy for conducting off-site research.

A Research Assistantship at the Kennan Institute complements any student's academic interest in Russian or Soviet Studies. Research Assistants have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with a prominent scholar in the field.
• Attend discussions and seminars sponsored by the Institute.
• Build on research skills you've acquired in college.
• Gain the privilege to use the Kennan Institute Library, which houses approximately 7,500 volumes and more than fifty Russian journals and newspapers.
• Have the opportunity to use your Russian language skills.

If you are interested in continuing in Russian Studies, a research assistantship at the Kennan Institute will provide practical experience in the field while helping you establish contacts with academics and policy makers that may prove useful for achieving future career objectives.
