Research Assistantships in ME

Research assistantships (RAs) are appointments that offer financial assistance for full-time graduate students. 

RAs are appointments from faculty members who hold research contracts and grants. These appointments usually materialize through direct discussions with individual faculty. Please see individual faculty pages for more information on research topics. Appointments vary, depending on the availability of funds and the professional progress of the student. Research appointments are made at any time in the calendar year depending on funding and other factors.

If you have a graduate assistantship, please see your offer letter for specific details. The department's minimum GA rate for the academic year 2026-27 is $33.42/hr. For information regarding employment matters, please see the GLU-UE collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
