Assistantships, Internships and Scholarships

A teaching assistant (TA) provides general assistance to the faculty they are working with.  A teaching assistant may lecture, lead discussion groups, serve as an assistant to laboratory classes and possibly tutor students.

A research assistant (RA) assists the faculty member they are working with on research.  Funding for this position  is provided from the faculty member's  research grants, and positions are found through direct relationships with faculty. 

If this is something that is of interest to you, we recommend that you connect with a professor who shares that same area of interest as you.  We have had students who attempt to "spam" or send emails to multiple faculty in hopes of receiving a response, and we can assure you that this is the worst way to try to connect with our faculty.  Again, it is important to do your homework and search for faculty in the area of specialization and area of interest as yourself, and to then reach out to them individually.

Here is a list of our faculty by program and area of specialization:
