Graduate Study in Contemporary Russian Literature and Culture (University of Pittsburgh)

Subject: Graduate Study in Contemporary Russian Literature and Culture
(apologies for cross-posting)

The Slavic Department at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications
to our MA/PhD program in Russian literature and culture. While our
department provides a full range of courses, our focus on contemporary
studies has supported recent dissertations on such topics as Soviet
postmodernist culture, Russian feminist theory, the Soviet anekdot,
television serials, and Thaw cinema. All PhD recipients in the past ten
years have received academic job offers or prestigious post-doctoral
fellowships, including from Johns Hopkins, Miami University of Ohio,
Princeton, Stanford Humanities Center, University College London,
Vanderbilt, and William and Mary.

Graduate students obtain extensive training and mentoring; they participate
regularly in international conferences even at a relatively early stage.
They may also help organize the annual Russian Film Symposium (
<http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu/> http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu); or edit and
publish the Department's journal, Studies in Slavic Cultures (
<http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/> http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/).
Alongside their primary course of study within the Department, graduate
students also typically obtain MA or PhD certificates in any of several
interdepartmental programs: 

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

. Film Studies ( <http://www.pitt.edu/~filmst/>
http://www.pitt.edu/~filmst/)

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

. Women's Studies ( <http://pitt.edu/~wstudies> http://pitt.edu/~wstudies)

By the time they receive their PhD, many students will have obtained
teaching experience in culture, cinema, language, and literature courses in
both team-taught and stand-alone formats.

Financial aid (non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is
available to qualified applicants. The application deadline is 15 January
for full support consideration; applications will be accepted until 1
February. Applications must be submitted electronically at
