Graduate Research Assistantship
If you indicate on your application that you are interested in an assistantship, the faculty will review your suitability for the work. Bear in mind that funding is mostly awarded to PhD students. While MS students are here for 3 semesters, most PhD students are here for at least 4 years.
Graduate Teaching Assistantship
GTA positions in CEE are much more rare. It helps if you have teaching experience and have taken the course in the past. The best way to learn about TA positions available is to:
- Reach out to your faculty advisor or the group leader for your specialization. Ask if they know of anyone looking for a TA.
- Reach out to the TAs in your class for guidance.
- Look for the biggest undergraduate courses. Those are usually the ones that need TAs. You can view classes in OSCAR.
