A small number of competitive graduate assistantships are available each year for full-time students. The compensation for these assistantships can be viewed on the
CSH Graduate Assistantship page. If acceptable progress is being made, the assistantship may be continued into a second year.
Recipients of graduate assistantships are required to work department during autumn, winter and spring quarters. Duties include, but are not limited to, serving as a teaching assistant in lab, grading and tutoring undergraduates in chemistry and biochemistry.
Recipient decisions are made no later than July 1 for autumn of the following academic year and renewed on a quarter-by-quarter basis thereafter. Recipients must make satisfactory progress in both departmental work assignments and coursework to be considered for renewal.
Any student interested in an assistantship must complete and submit an
application to the
Director of Graduate Studies prior to June 1 to be considered. The general GRE test is required for all international students who wish to be considered for a graduate assistantship.
