Teaching Assistantships

Each year, the Department of Linguistics offers a number of teaching assistantship (TA) positions to eligible graduate students. Specific duties of a TA include: assisting a faculty member in teaching and grading student assignments, preparing instructional materials, tutoring students, supervising tests and/or assessments, etc.
 

Research Assistantships

Graduate and undergraduate research assistantships are sometimes available from faculty members engaged in research projects generally funded by external agencies (e.g. National Science Foundation). These assistantships are awarded at the discretion of the individual faculty members and are based on the qualifications and skills needed for doing the kind of work required of the student assistants.
 

Graduate Student Assistantship for Doctoral Students in IS PhD

The department annually awards one graduate student assistantship to support graduate students pursuing a doctoral degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Information Science with a concentration in Linguistics.

Graduate students working for 20 hours a week (as TAs, RAs, or GSAs) are eligible for in-state tuition rates. In addition, students who receive a competitive scholarship (at least $1000) are also eligible for in-state tuition rates. The department offers a limited number of (in-state) tuition awards each year. Terms and conditions for eligibility may be determined by the funding source. For details, contact the department chair.
