Important notice!

1. Successful candidates are provided with an employment contract in accordance with Russian migration and labour laws. The employment contract requires a work visa valid for the duration of the contract (with the exception of nationals from the countries that have an agreement on visa-free entry to the Russian Federation). Tourist visa is not enough for an employment contract. SPbU provides assistance in obtaining entry visas to the Russian Federation.
2. Consulting services are not considered employment and cannot be the subject of an employment contract with an academic staff member.
3. A 30% income tax is deducted from the salary of persons residing in the Russian Federation for less than 6 months, with exception of highly skilled professionals engaged in research and teaching, and receiving salaries of more than 1 million roubles per one year.
4. A debit card from a local (Russian) banking office is issued for payment of the salary. Even if a Russian branch of a foreign bank operates in St. Petersburg, this does not mean that it would be possible to use a card issued by a branch of the same bank located outside of the Russian Federation: for instance, branches of some foreign banks in Russia are franchises and cannot provide services to customers of a foreign bank of the same name under the same conditions that they enjoyed abroad.
5. Persons working in teaching positions need to get a no criminal record certificate from the RF Ministry of the Interior and to submit a chest photofluorography certificate at least once per year.
6. Employees are issued a work book and a certificate of compulsory pension insurance.
