Graduate Student Assistantships
Besides
scholarships and fellowships, the Psychology Department
offers three types of assistantships for students in the
doctoral program. Departmental Assistantships (DAs)
generally involve activities that support faculty and
TAs in the teaching of their undergraduate courses, e.g.,
grading and proctoring exams. Teaching Assistantships
(TAs) involve actual classroom instruction, most
commonly the teaching of PSY 2012: Introductory Psychology,
or a Laboratory course. Research Assistantships
(RAs) involve laboratory work, running subjects,
analyzing data, designing experiments, etc. Assistantships
typically require 10 - 20 hours of work per week, and
funding can be provided by either the department or by
individual faculty grants. Currently 100%
of the Cognitive Psychology graduate students are funded
through one of the above assistantships.
