Spencer RTG - Frequently Asked Questions . . . . Copies of successful applications from previous years are available for review at Kathy Lessard s desk in 116 Erickson Hall between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. any weekday. You may not remove the materials from 116 EH, nor may you copy them. Fellows will be allowed to take on a graduate assistantship of no more than time during the fall and spring semesters. This could either be a research or teaching assistantship.
Fellows can take on any assistantships they like during the summer.
Prospective fellows may propose to work on their own independent project OR they may propose to work on another researcher s project. No preference will be given to independent versus nested or collaborative inquiries. Students who wish to apprentice in an already established research program are encouraged to apply, and to explain their individual contributions and responsibilities within that work. You do not have to nominate a mentor, but you may do so if you wish. The RTG program coordinator, with the advice of students and faculty, will make the final decisions about mentors.
