[ecrea] Two Pitt PhDs (Literature/Culture & Film Studies/Slavic concentration)

Sun Nov 26 08:18:30 GMT 2017






The University of Pittsburgh Slavic Department (http://www.slavic.pitt.edu/) invites applications to its graduate program, which provides a full range of courses, with particular strengths in the study of contemporary Russian culture, Russian/Soviet cinema, and Russian literature.  Our program has supported dissertations in such diverse areas ascontemporary Russian prose, Soviet postmodern culture, Thaw cinema, 1930s-40s Soviet civic poetry, prison culture of the Belomor Canal, post-Soviet philosophy, the Soviet /anekdot/, and Stagnation-era television serials.  Financial aid (both non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is available to qualified applicants. Applications will be accepted until *Monday, 15 January**2018*and must be submitted electronically at https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=up-as. ; For more information,see http://slavic.pitt.edu/graduate/requirements.

PhD students help organize the annual Russian Film Symposium (http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu) and edit the refereed journal /Studies in Slavic Cultures/ (http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/).  Alongside primary study towards the degree, students typically are mentored in obtaining MA or PhD certificates in one or more of five interdepartmental programs:

.       Cultural Studies (http://pitt.edu/~cultural/)

.       Film Studies (http://www.filmstudies.pitt.edu/)

.       Russian and East European Studies (http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/crees/)

. Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies (http://www.wstudies.pitt.edu/)

. JewishStudies (http://www.jewishstudies.pitt.edu/)

By PhDconferral, students will have teaching experience in culture, cinema, language, and literature courses (team-taught and stand-alone formats). PhD recipients have received academic job offers or post-doctoral fellowshipsin such institutions as Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Stanford Humanities Center, University College London, University of Texas Austin, Vanderbilt, and William and Mary.  Other PhD recipients have competed successful for senior academic administrative positions in International Studies, for work in Russian media analysis consulting in the public sector, and for teaching and administrative positions in private secondary education.

*Alternative Slavic/Film Studies PhD*. Students with a primary interestin Film Studies may apply to Pitt’s *Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD with a concentration in Slavic*, thus working towards a single PhD in two disciplines. Application to the Film Studies PhD degree may be made in two ways: a.) as part of the /initial application/ to the University; or b.) as an application (initially) only to the Slavic Department and later (after preparatory coursework) /internally for transfer/ to the Film Studies PhD.
