Description:

The Department of Germanic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin is
currently accepting applications from candidates to pursue doctoral studies in
German culture (including literature and film); foreign language pedagogy and
applied linguistics; and theoretical linguistics. Our faculty members are
affiliated with graduate programs in related fields, including Comparative
Literature, French & Italian, and Linguistics, and are internationally
recognized for their scholarship. The strengths of our program lie mainly in
nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and culture, and applied and
theoretical linguistics. The department currently hosts the editorial offices
of German Studies Review (the journal of the German Studies Association;
https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/german_studies_review/), edited by
Professor Sabine Hake; and the Texas German Dialect Project (www.tgdp.org),
directed by Professor Hans C. Boas.

The University of Texas at Austin offers outstanding research opportunities
with a first-rate university library, and the Department of Germanic Studies
encourages students to take advantage of these opportunities. We offer a broad
range of courses on topics like “Art, Money, and the Economy”; “’Classic’
Legends: The Uses and Abuses of Canonicity in Cultural History”; “The Modern
Metropolis,” and “Language Contact and Language Death in Texas,” as well as
classes in Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Yiddish, and various older
Germanic languages. Our graduate students regularly present papers at
international and national conferences, publish articles in scholarly
journals, and win fellowships for study and research, as well as teaching
awards. Our alumni have also been successful at obtaining academic and
non-academic positions.

We offer financial support for graduate studies for a maximum of five years.
Funding includes fellowships, positions as assistant instructors, graduate
research assistants (both currently $8,521 per semester), or teaching
assistants (currently $6,842 per semester), tuition assistance (covers the
entire tuition), and faculty and staff health insurance benefits. We will be
able to provide outstanding candidates with additional financial support.
Participation in our teaching mission is a crucial part of our graduate
program, and we therefore strive to give all of our graduate students the
opportunity to teach in our lower-division language sequence. Advanced
graduate students may also be able to develop and teach their own courses. 

Applicants should have a B.A. or M.A. in German or related field (e.g.
Comparative Literature, Linguistics, etc.), a good command of German and
English, a good academic record, a dedication to scholarly research, and an
interest in teaching German or other Germanic languages as a foreign language.
