Biography
Academic career
After three years at Harvard University,as well as a year as a Russian instructor at Tufts University (1957),she moved to Los Angeles in 1957 and joined the University of California,Los Angeles,as an assistant professor of Slavic languages. [4] [1] She was promoted to associate professor in 1961 and full professor in 1965, [1] though this had stalled due in part to anti-nepotism rules preventing spouses from working in the same department and what Nozsicska said were "obvious political considerations". [2] She returned to the University of Vienna as their first head of their Department of Russian Studies,after rejecting the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies's offer of a full professor position. [1] She served as co-editor of the Wiener Slavistisches Jahrbuch,as well as member of the Russian Linguistics editorial board. [3]
She published several monographs on Russian studies,with her focus on 18th-century Russian philology before shifting towards the 17th century by 1983. [1] [2] In 1963, [5] She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship [6] "for studies of the historical development of secondary vocabularies in the Russian,Polish,and Serbocroatian languages", [4] allowing her to head to the Soviet Union for research. [3] In 1967,she briefly returned to the Institute for Slavic Philology as a Fulbright Lecturer. [2]
Later life,death,and legacy
She retired from the university in 1993,and became professor emeritus. [1] Even after her retirement,she was participating in seminars,including a 1999 commemorative conference on Slavic studies.
