Normally, these TAships are granted for one quarter or one year at a time, and are renewable based on the student's performance in coursework and TA responsibilities. The work required and salary offered for TAships varies. The student might grade papers for two courses, or serve as a tutor in our open computer lab, for approximately 7 hours per week. The student might teach a course under the supervision of a faculty member. You can apply for a TAship as part of the initial application procedure.
Deadlines are the same as for the rest of the application.
Additional TAships may be advertised to graduate students shortly prior to the term for which they become available. Faculty choose RAs on an individual basis, but the most important criterion is usually the student's ability to contribute to the professor's research program. Ordinarily students are given an RAship only after they have been in the graduate program for at least one term, and have taken at least one class from the professor. To apply for an RAship, please see the professor with whom you would like to work. Links from the Department web page are a good way to learn about current research projects.
