Applications are sought in all appropriate disciplines. Applications in all appropriate disciplines will be considered.

Within these disciplines, the following specializations and subject areas are particularly desired: early childhood education, English education (and American Studies), special education, environmental economics, sustainable development, nano-technology, mining, arts management, cultural preservation and marketing. Higher education courses taught in English are particularly needed because many current professors were educated during the socialist era and have only studied Russian.
