UCRF Research Assistant - Pyle (AY 24-25 902215)

Using longitudinal individual and household surveys conducted in Russia through the end of 2023, we will draw comparisons between the periods before and after the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine: material and subjective well-being, consumption and savings patterns, labor market activity, etc. The objective is to provide a more granular accounting than is available elsewhere of economic activity and well-being in Russia under conditions of wartime sanctions.

RA will assist with data analysis, generate tables and figures for inclusion in policy briefs and articles, conduct searches of relevant secondary literature.

Essential Functions:

Student Employment Eligibility:

Unless restricted by certain visa status, all students with an active status for the semester are eligible for jobs on campus.

Students on leave or withdrawn are not eligible to work in student employment positions until the semester in which they return. If you are currently withdrawn or on leave you are eligible to be employed in staff positions.

Some may be restricted due to financial aid status. International students (non-resident aliens) may not work off campus unless they have applied for and received work authorization from the United States government. (An F-1 visa does not give work authorization.) Off campus work study positions are available only to U.S. citizens on financial aid with a federal work study component.

All student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week in on campus jobs during the academic year (this includes exam periods). The only exception is when there is a full week when school is not in session. Specifically: February recess, Spring recess, and full weeks of December or summer recess. During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week. International Students: Visa restrictions prohibit international students from exceeding 20 hours of work per academic calendar week.
