Are Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships available for Ph.D. students?
Most SAIS faculty members have research assistants who are also Ph.D. students. These assignments are pursued and established after the admissions process has concluded. A small number of teaching assistantships are associated with SAIS courses of unusually large enrollments. Typically, however, most Ph.D. candidates do not have a teaching assistantship while at SAIS.
