About the GRA Position

From http://www.cs.westga.edu/Employment/GraduateAssistantships

The Department may have several openings for graduate research assistantships for the Fall/Spring semester, contingent upon funding. Assistantships include a $3000 stipend per semester (paid monthly) and a full tuition waiver. Twenty hours of assigned work per week will be required as determined by the department.

To be eligible to receive a graduate assistantship, a student must be a fully-accepted, degree-seeking graduate student in the Applied Computer Science program. Individuals interested in these assistantships should submit an application including a resume indicating computer skills and experience to the Department Office as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed and awarded periodically, with final reviews to be made at the beginning of the semester.
