Graduate Assistantships

Research and Teaching Assistantship Form

Overview

Graduate assistantships are paid positions for graduate students which usually involve work as a teaching assistant, research assistant or some other academic assistance to a member of the college. Some of these positions can also provide tuition reduction.

Application for Graduate Assistantship

If you are interested in applying for a graduate assistantship, please carefully read and complete the Graduate Assistant Application form at the bottom of the page. The College of Technology awards a number of assistantships to incoming and current graduate students each year. New students should be aware that assistantships cannot be awarded until acceptance into the graduate program is official.

Assistantship opportunities for the individual departments can be viewed on our college employment page and in the job opportunities section for ET lab management.

Deadline

The priority application date is April 1st for Fall applicants. Both new students and current UH students will be considered for assistantships. New students must be admitted to a graduate program at UH. Current students must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress toward their degree. Priority will be given to College of Technology graduate students.
