Research Assistantships
Serving as a research assistant (RA) is an important part of the professional development and training that Tufts offers graduate students. Doctoral student RAs receive a stipend as part of their training. Master’s students are eligible for similar research roles, called graduate assistantships, and are paid hourly.
The skills and training acquired as an RA depend on faculty mentoring, feedback, and assessment. Faculty members supervising RAs should clearly define assistants' responsibilities at the beginning of the assistantship and provide feedback on how those responsibilities are being met.
All RAs receive a stipend as part of their training.
