Description:
The Department of Germanic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin has several graduate student positions available to start in Fall 2021. The Department has an outstanding reputation in various areas of German(ic) Studies: (1) German literary and cultural studies, (2) Germanic linguistics, and (3) applied linguistics. Support packages normally include complete payment of tuition and fees, a graduate assistantship (normally a teaching position, paying between $9500 and $10,500 per semester), health insurance, and a generous stipend for conference travel. Additional financial support may be available for outstanding candidates.
Our graduate students receive individual training through intensive and extensive collaboration with faculty members, and thereby develop a high level of competence in both teaching and scholarship. In addition to developing expertise in their subject area, all of our graduate students also receive extensive training and experience in teaching German as a foreign language. Many of our graduates find attractive positions in academic and non-academic fields.
Requirements: A B.A., M.A., or equivalent in German Studies (or in a related discipline like Comparative Literature or Linguistics); an outstanding academic record; near-native competency in both English and German; the GRE (and the TOEFL, for non-native speakers of English); an interest in scholarly research in at least one of the following areas: German literature, German cultural or media studies, linguistics, or applied linguistics.
Application deadline: January 24, 2022, for admission for the Fall 2022 semester. We may also accept late applications at our discretion.
