Graduate Scholar Research Assistantships
One-year (12 month) graduate student research assistantships are available to full-time UVM graduate students (U.S. Citizens or permanent residents). Students may be in any graduate program within UVM's colleges or schools. In addition to $28,000 of direct (employment based) support, an additional $1,000 may be available to support the selected student's research expenses, data purchases, books, professional travel, conferences or registration fees. Prior transportation-related experience is preferred but is not required. The TRC is funding 8 GRAs next year as follows (please contact the faculty directly for information):
