Graduate Teaching Assistantships in Spanish are available for the support of students beginning study in Fall 2006 in the two-year Master of Arts program in Spanish at Miami University. The program is open to candidates of any nationality and offers a US master's-level degree in any one of three different concentrations: Spanish linguistics, Latin American literature, and Peninsular literature. Students interested in linguistics can work closely with faculty specialized in several fields including Historical Linguistics, Formal Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, and Second Language Acquisition. Graduate Teaching Assistants must demonstrate native or near-native proficiency in Spanish and English and a strong undergraduate background in Hispanic language and literature. Graduate Teaching Assistants are responsible for teaching one section of elementary Spanish per semester under the supervision of a faculty member. All Graduate Assistants receive a stipend for their nine-month appointment ($10,172 for the 05-06 academic year), in addition to remission of tuition and out-of-state tuition surcharge (students are responsible for certain fees and insurance). Summer support is also available for those wishing to register for thesis hours during the summer. The deadline for applications is February 15th. Non-US citizens are encouraged to apply by January 30th.
