Research Assistantship Opportunities

Funding is available for graduate research assistants on a wide variety of research projects. Such funding is generated by individual faculty members as well as by groups of faculty. You may want to contact individual faculty regarding their current and eminent projects. We encourage all applicants who seek funding through graduate research assistantships to submit, in addition to the complete application package, a video of approximately 10 minutes, in which they describe their research interests, their background and experience in doing independent research, and their future goals. This movie can be digital video, submitted as a URL to a QuickTime file (do not e-mail the entire digital movie), or mailed on a CD (same format) together with your application. Alternatively, a simple video cassette tape will also be accepted. This instruction is particularly important for prospective graduate students whose first language is other than English.
