The work involved varies depending on the needs of the professor and the nature and stage of the project. Also, the number of available research assistantships varies considerably from year to year. Other teaching assistant duties depend upon the requirements of the particular course. It is highly unusual for entering students to be offered teaching assistantships. Each semester there are a few teaching positions as lecturers in lower level undergraduate courses for which graduate students who have completed all requirements for the doctoral degree except the dissertation may apply.
Lecturers are responsible for the entire content and activities of the course.
A limited number of traineeships are available in the Center for Demography and Ecology, and the Center for Demography of Health and Aging. Return to Graduate Program . Home Copyright 1999-2000. University of Wisconsin, Madison Send comments to the Webmaster .
