I have a Fellowship, and I have not yet joined a research group. What do I do with the time that RA, TA, and GA students use to perform their assigned duties?
Students who have a Fellowship are in a unique position to actively seek research opportunities in their first semester. The Fellowship should allow the student to accelerate along the path toward a PhD degree. Consequently, students with Fellowships should be meeting with faculty to discuss possible research opportunities. These discussions may lead to a project that can be performed during the time that would otherwise be spent teaching as a TA or GA.

- Does FDU offer any graduate research assistantship (RA), teaching assistantships (TA) positions, and/or job placement assistance?
- Are GA, RA, and TA positions set up in an ad-hoc manner, or is there an actual structure to assigning them?
