Academics UK

Hello,

I'm a student of Moscow City Pedagogical University (Russia) and major in English and Cross Cultural Communications. Currently I am conducting a research where I compare some aspects of English and Russian grammar. These are there is a need, it is necessary and we need . The crucial point is whether these constructions can substitute each other in sentences.

It is not time-consuming.  What is needed - is simply to fill the form in the web-page

The results of the research will help to better understand the structure of the language.

Thanks a lot.

I am a part-time PhD student in one of the UK universities, and I stay in one of the new EU countries.  I wonder, if it is possible to find some academic job that can be accomplished distantly, from the country of my current location. My field is social psychology, so I thought of some research assistant position in a project related to my field. Tutoring in the OU might be an option, but unfortunately I cannot apply for it from my country. Has anybody heard anything about doing academic job distantly? I would even consider being a volunteer research assistant, though not for very long.  Where can I look for the positions of this sort? I found plenty of European research centres in my field, but  (naturally) there was no information about vacancies there. Should I go ahead and drop them a line or would it look rather awkward?

The request is completely ludicrous. No self-respecting society can accept illegality to spread for fear of even greater crimes being committed. No civil process can be canceled just because certain individuals – on the pretext of carrying out an act of resistance – try to stop the democratic election of a dean by every member of the student body rather than party representatives within universities, as was the case in the past.

If the Greek government yields to these demands and gives in to the blackmail, the only way to go will be down. All the way down, until even hardcore outlaws such as the Zoniana drug lords demand that they be left alone to conduct their business.
