Research Assistants
Under immediate supervision, Research Assistants (classified as graduate assistants) assist a regular faculty member with various professional and technical duties associated generally with the subjects or programs in which the assistant is doing graduate work.
- Research Assistants are provided part-time employment and practical experience in fields related to their advanced study.
- Research Assistants provide professional non-teaching assistance to faculty members.
Typical activities of Research Assistants may include: providing assistance to faculty conducting authorized research by collecting and arranging data, developing source materials, summarizing reports, searching the literature and compiling bibliographies, developing and operating research equipment, preparing and caring for research materials, assisting in the conduct of experiments, etc.
Student Travel
Depending on funding, EDD students may apply for business travel reimbursement for presenting at a conference. Priority will be given to students presenting with a doctoral faculty member and/or presenting their research related to their doctoral studies.
*The University payments to students policy requires that the primary beneficiary of the business travel be the university rather than the student. For example: a student submits a travel proposal in which the University’s business purpose is effectively described, receives departmental approval that requires a clearly stated deliverable upon the student's return, and the student presents that deliverable to the department's satisfaction.
The application process is as follows:
A minimum of 6-8 weeks before the date of travel, email an
(1) abstract of your research and (2) conference agenda to the EDD office at edd@csus.edu.
