Only graduate students admitted to the program who are pedagogically qualified to teach Italian language and culture will be considered for an Instructorship. Reappointment of all Associate Instructors depends on satisfactory academic and pedagogical performance and improvement over time. All AIs who are Ph.D. students must take and pass their first Ph.D. exam within their second semester in the Ph.D. program. All AIs must pass their Ph.D. exams within the sixth semester as Ph.D. students. All students holding a fee remission during the regular academic year may apply this award to six hours of summer course work as well.
AIs can apply to teach during the Summer Session in Bloomington.
The selection will be based on the pedagogical and academic performance of the candidates. Seniority may be taken into consideration, but it is not a major factor. The Graduate Grants Center also assists students in seeking outside funding.
