Graduate Teaching Fellowships Please note: Application materials must be postmarked by January 15 to be considered for the following academic year (exception: if January 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, forms are to be postmarked by the following business day). Students admitted to the doctoral program are normally given a Graduate Teaching Fellowship, which carries with it a full tuition waiver and a monetary stipend. Graduate Teaching Fellowships are awarded on a year-long basis, and it is expected that a doctoral student will receive at least four years of support, assuming that he or she continues to make satisfactory progress toward the doctoral degree. Graduate Teaching Fellowships are considered to be an integral part of our doctoral program and not merely a means of financial support. Faculty members devote a considerable amount of time and effort to training teaching assistants and evaluating their performance. In addition to weekly meetings with teaching assistants, the Department offers an optional year-long seminar on teaching that treats issues such as syllabus preparation, discussion strategies, advising, examinations, and the philosophy of education. Graduate Teaching Fellowships are thus an important part of our students' preparation for the job market and their later professional experience as teachers. Many students in both our master's and our doctoral program secure Graduate Teaching Fellowship support by teaching in other departments and programs, such as Religious Studies, Women's & Gender Studies Program, Humanities, English, and Ethnic Studies. Information on these and other current Graduate Teaching Fellowship positions may be found on the University of Oregon Graduate School's website: http://gradschool.uoregon.edu/?page=gtfJobAnnouncements. Although Graduate Teaching Fellowships are the only form of financial assistance available through the Philosophy Department, other funding resources may be found on the University of Oregon Graduate School's website: http://gradschool.uoregon.edu/?page=fundingResources. Please note: Application materials must be postmarked by January 15 for the following academic year (exception: if January 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, forms are to be postmarked by the following business day).
