Teaching & Graduate Assistantships
The Graduate School-Camden offers Teaching and Graduate Assistantships to full-time applicants in select programs, providing students with prestigious and highly competitive opportunities. These assistantships come with a comprehensive set of benefits, including full tuition and fee remission, a generous stipend (to be allocated towards living expenses, housing costs, and other personal financial needs as deemed appropriate), and health benefits. Students interested in any of these positions should apply early.
Teaching Assistantships (TAs) involve teaching undergraduate courses or providing grading support, while Graduate Assistantships support faculty and staff with research or administrative tasks. For insight into these roles, listen to the Recording Rutgers Podcast episode where two doctoral students share their experiences. Melissa Thompson, a Public Affairs/Community Development PhD student, discusses her Graduate Assistantship supporting faculty research, while Regina Salzer, a Computational and Integrative Biology PhD student, talks about her Teaching Assistantship, balancing teaching and her academic journey from Master’s to PhD. They also explore how they found these opportunities and manage the dual responsibilities of work and scholarship.
Programs and divisions offering these assistantships at Rutgers University-Camden include:
- Childhood Studies – Ph.D. (GA/TA)
- Computational and Integrative Biology – Ph.D. (GA/TA)
- Creative Writing – M.F.A. (TA)
