PHD IN SLAVIC LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES
Applicants who wish to start graduate studies in the fall semester should apply by December 1 to receive priority consideration for fellowship funding.
Funding for graduate study at USC is generous but competitive, and deadlines for application matter. We continue to accept applications through March for the following fall semester, but the chance receiving funding diminishes significantly after January. Our financial support is intended to fund the entire course of PhD study (see Financial Support) and we admit only those students whom we are able to fund.
Admission Requirements
An undergraduate major in Russian or its equivalent is a prerequisite for graduate work in the Slavic department. It is generally expected that the undergraduate major will have included four language and four literature courses at the upper division level. If your background does not include this training, please be aware that, if you are accepted into the graduate program, you may be required to do supplemental study in addition to graduate course work.
Funding decisions are usually made from January through mid-April.

ACADEMIC COORDINATOR
for the International Max Planck Research School on Retaliation, Mediation and Punishment (IMPRS-REMEP), starting 1 March 2016.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
The varied and interesting duties associated with the position of Academic Coordinator overlap at the juncture between research and administration. The successful applicant will support and assist the speaker and steering committee of the IMPRS and promote the external visibility of the programme. Duties will also involve the on-going organisational requirements of the IMPRS, assisting doctoral students in academic, administrative and practical matters, design and implementation of the curriculum, as well as the co-ordination of the applicant selection procedure, the organisation of workshops and the preparation of publications. The coordinator herself or himself should spend half time of the position on own research. Therefore, research interests related to the REMEP programme are required.
The School
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses pivotal issues concerning the maintenance and preservation of social order and social control. These fundamental questions take on, particularly in the context of conflict and post-conflict societies, a new meaning, where, in the search for solution strategies, traditional approaches to conflict regulation (mediation) can be fallen back upon. These steps partially co-exist alongside long-established customary concepts of retaliation, supplementing established punitive models and reasoning or, to a certain extent, replacing them completely.
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses issues of maintenance, construction, negotiation and preservation of social order and human security. The research agenda of REMEP combines the fields of anthropology with criminology and (international) criminal law, legal history and public international law. The focus of analysis is directed towards conflict and conflict settlement procedures which are informed by the basic concepts of retaliation, mediation, and punishment. Research topics range from conflict resolution in egalitarian societies to conflict management procedures in (post-) conflict societies. Travelling technologies of ordering, new arrangements of governance, networks of cooperation as well as the impact of rights-based approaches and human rights, religious law and tenets of faith in the transformation of ordering practices proved to be fields of research which allow new insight into the overall question about the normative power and the social working of the basic concepts of REMEP.
Besides the MPI for Social Anthropology, a number of other higher education facilities and research institutes are involved in the programme. These are the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, as well as the University of Freiburg and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.

Your Profile
Requirements for the position are a university degree (preferably with a doctorate in the field of social anthropology, sociology, or jurisprudence, and research experience within the subject fields of the IMPRS, experience in research management and excellent German and English language skills. In addition, the successful applicant will possess outstanding communication skills, a high degree of flexibility, the ability to work under pressure and lastly, enjoy working in an international environment.
Our Offer
Employment will be on a full-time contractual basis. Remuneration will be awarded in accordance with the German public service. The position is awarded for 2 years, with the possibility for an extension. The workplace is Halle (Saale).
The Max Planck Society strives to employ more persons with disabilities and explicitly encourages applications. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society is committed to raising the proportion of women in under-represented fields; we thus explicitly encourage applications by women.

ACADEMIC COORDINATOR
for the International Max Planck Research School on Retaliation, Mediation and Punishment (IMPRS-REMEP), starting 1 March 2016.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
The varied and interesting duties associated with the position of Academic Coordinator overlap at the juncture between research and administration. The successful applicant will support and assist the speaker and steering committee of the IMPRS and promote the external visibility of the programme. Duties will also involve the on-going organisational requirements of the IMPRS, assisting doctoral students in academic, administrative and practical matters, design and implementation of the curriculum, as well as the co-ordination of the applicant selection procedure, the organisation of workshops and the preparation of publications. The coordinator herself or himself should spend half time of the position on own research. Therefore, research interests related to the REMEP programme are required.
The School
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses pivotal issues concerning the maintenance and preservation of social order and social control. These fundamental questions take on, particularly in the context of conflict and post-conflict societies, a new meaning, where, in the search for solution strategies, traditional approaches to conflict regulation (mediation) can be fallen back upon. These steps partially co-exist alongside long-established customary concepts of retaliation, supplementing established punitive models and reasoning or, to a certain extent, replacing them completely.
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses issues of maintenance, construction, negotiation and preservation of social order and human security. The research agenda of REMEP combines the fields of anthropology with criminology and (international) criminal law, legal history and public international law. The focus of analysis is directed towards conflict and conflict settlement procedures which are informed by the basic concepts of retaliation, mediation, and punishment. Research topics range from conflict resolution in egalitarian societies to conflict management procedures in (post-) conflict societies. Travelling technologies of ordering, new arrangements of governance, networks of cooperation as well as the impact of rights-based approaches and human rights, religious law and tenets of faith in the transformation of ordering practices proved to be fields of research which allow new insight into the overall question about the normative power and the social working of the basic concepts of REMEP.
Besides the MPI for Social Anthropology, a number of other higher education facilities and research institutes are involved in the programme. These are the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, as well as the University of Freiburg and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.

Your Profile
Requirements for the position are a university degree (preferably with a doctorate in the field of social anthropology, sociology, or jurisprudence, and research experience within the subject fields of the IMPRS, experience in research management and excellent German and English language skills. In addition, the successful applicant will possess outstanding communication skills, a high degree of flexibility, the ability to work under pressure and lastly, enjoy working in an international environment.
Our Offer
Employment will be on a full-time contractual basis. Remuneration will be awarded in accordance with the German public service. The position is awarded for 2 years, with the possibility for an extension. The workplace is Halle (Saale).
The Max Planck Society strives to employ more persons with disabilities and explicitly encourages applications. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society is committed to raising the proportion of women in under-represented fields; we thus explicitly encourage applications by women.
