教师 Forms and Information for Supporting 研究生 Students
研究生 Stipends and Contract Forms
概述
研究生 assistantships in the form of RA/TA/GA are 合同s created to compensate
graduate 学生s for their efforts within the department on academic activities or
on tasks related to research projects. Student involvement in these research and academic
activities provide an invaluable educational experience towards their professional
职业生涯. Students will gain research, teaching, and/or administrative skills under
the direct supervision or mentoring of an NMT 教师 or 工作人员.
The 学生 efforts on these 合同s are allocated based on a full time equivalent
(FTE)每周工作40小时. Student involvement in these activities can be at 0.25
FTE(10小时)，0.33小时(14小时)或0.5 FTE (20hrs) level per week during the academic
一年. T在这里 are minimums that must be met and are prorated based on the fraction of
一个FTE. 最大值为0.5 FTE (20 hours per week) is allowed during the academic 一年.
可补偿分量，i.e. hours listed on the 合同 represent the average level
of effort spent on the 合同 and should be representative of the amount work expected
to complete specific tasks required by the funding source. 学生不需要
to work during Academic holidays and hours may be averaged over several weeks to allow
flexibility to take extra time off around the holidays with approval of their supervisor.
In the case of research assistantships the 合同ed work may be related to the 学生’s
thesis or dissertation, it is expected that the completion of the work for the thesis
or dissertation will consume far more time than is allocated in the graduate assistantship
合同. This additional time is considered as part of their education. 研究
assistantship covers the compensable component of the project to be performed by the
学生. The non-compensable components of the 学生’s research which are required
for the successful completion of thesis or dissertation will require additional time on the part of the 学生.
研究生 assistantships are awarded at a minimum of 0.25小时/周(10小时/周).
