The University of Pittsburgh Slavic Department invites applications to its
program, which provides a full range of courses with particular strengths in
contemporary Russian culture, cinema, and Romanticism. Our program has
supported such dissertations as Soviet postmodernist culture, Thaw cinema,
post-Soviet philosophy, and Stagnation-era television serials.  PhD
recipients have received academic positions or post-doctoral fellowships at
such institutions as Dartmouth, Dickinson, Johns Hopkins, Princeton,
Stanford Humanities Center, University College London, and William and Mary.

 

PhD students help organize the annual Russian Film Symposium
(http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu).  They also edit and publish Studies in Slavic
Cultures (http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/).   Students typically obtain MA
or PhD certificates in one or more 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/).

By PhD completion, students have teaching experience in culture, cinema,
language, and literature courses in both team-taught and stand-alone
formats.

 

Before the Slavic PhD comprehensive examinations, eligible Slavic PhD
students may apply to transfer to Pitt's Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD
(with a concentration in Slavic), thereby working towards a single PhD in
two disciplines.  See
http://www.filmstudies.pitt.edu/graduate/interdisciplinary-phd. 

 

Financial aid (non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is
available to qualified applicants. Applications are accepted until 15
January, submitted electronically at
https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=up-as.  For more information, see
http://www.slavic.pitt.edu/.
