Please Post - OSU Slavic Application Invitation

[Delic, Irene]

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, which offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees with a specialization in Russian Literary-Cultural Studies or Slavic Linguistics, announces the availability of financial support for qualified new graduate students in the 2012-2013 academic year.

With a faculty of ten, including specialists in Slavic Literatures; Film, Gender, and Cultural Studies; Slavic and Balkan Linguistics; and Second Language Acquisition, and with six lecturers (in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian, Czech and Polish), the Department is one of the largest and most successful in the field. Its more than twenty graduate students come from all over the country and abroad. They work closely with faculty in the Department and across the University in pursuit of academic excellence.

Opportunities to complete, present, and publish advanced research in various fora and to teach a variety of courses in the disciplines of the Department enhance our Department's graduate student experience. The mentoring and training the students receive have contributed strongly to an excellent record of postgraduate placement in academic jobs for our Ph. D.s. Placements are likewise excellent in other professions (government, film industry, news agencies, cultural exchange).

OSU and our Department offer Graduate Teaching Associateships, University Fellowships, Foreign Language and Area Studies Title VI Fellowships, and other financial aid.  GTA and UF awards are open to students from all countries. Both incoming and continuing graduate students are eligible for up to six years of financial support.  Well-prepared GTAs regularly teach courses in the Russian, Czech, and Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian languages, Russian literature, Russian and East European film, and Russian culture on the undergraduate level, and occasionally other courses, such as Polish, Czech, or Balkan Slavic literature and film for undergraduates. All new GTAs take a two-week training seminar before classes begin and receive further teacher training and education throughout the school year. A departmental atmosphere of mutual respect and assistance between faculty and graduate students contributes to the teaching success of our GTAs and their research productivity.

Faculty in culture and literature: Angela Brintlinger, Alexander Burry, Helena Goscilo, Yana Hashamova, Jessie Labov, and Jennifer Suchland; in linguistics: Daniel Collins, Ludmila Isurin, Brian Joseph, and Andrea Sims.
