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/)
- Jewish Studies (http://www.jewishstudies.pitt.edu/)
By PhD conferral, 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 fellowships in 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 interest in Film Studies may apply to Pitt’sInterdisciplinary 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.
