How do I find a graduate teaching assistantship (TA) or a graduate research assistantship (RA)?
This varies by department and by program, so check with the department or program to which you are applying or have been admitted. In some departments, applicants will be offered assistantships at the same time they are admitted to the program. Usually, however, students are first admitted to a program, then they can search for an RA or TA position the same way they would go about searching for any job. Let your advisor and all of your instructors know you are searching for an assistantship. Make sure you have a well-prepared resume that highlights any research experience, lab or statistical skills, and your excellent academic credentials. Faculty members make the decisions about who gets hired and who doesn’t, and they prefer to hire students they know well, either through class or as an advisee. So if you are looking for an assistantships, think of every class and appointment with your advisor as a job interview. The UI Graduate College does post some open positions on their web site
