Departmental Teaching Assistantships, Teaching Fellowships, and Research Assistantships

Teaching Assistant (1st year graduate students; <18 Hrs) and Teaching Fellow (who teach their own classes; >18 Hrs) positions are available for a number of our graduate students. In recent years, the stipends began at $13,700 per year. With optional summer teaching (one to two courses), the stipend can be as high as $20,500 (provided summer funding is available). It includes a waiver of out-of-state tuition (i.e., the student pays at the in-state rate instead). Currently, tuition reductions are unavailable.

The Department also has a limited number of Research Assistant (RA) positions available. Research Assistants typically work on one or another of the Departmental Projects or Centers. Stipends for RAs vary, but are at least as much as that of a TA/TF. To enquire about RA positions, contact each project or center independently. Students applying to be Teaching Assistants or Teaching Fellows should indicate their intentions on the letters of purpose that they submit with the other application materials due by February 1 each year. More details of the application requirements can be found at our Graduate Admissions page.
