Graduate Assistantships
Research Assistantships
Individual Department of Nutritional Sciences faculty members hire master’s and doctoral students for quarter-time or half-time graduate research assistantships as research funds become available. Both current and prospective graduate students are considered for open positions. Students may combine a quarter-time research assistantship with a quarter-time teaching assistantship in order to be eligible for the tuition waiver. At the fall Graduate Student Orientation, faculty members review their current research which ranges across the continuum of research settings.
If interested in a research assistantship:
- Review faculty specializations to identify areas of interest.
- Review faculty profiles for the information that their publications will provide.
- Contact individual faculty members about their research work and available funds.
- Prospective students may make arrangements through the graduate coordinator to visit
OSU and the department and talk to research faculty.
Email Dr. Deana Hildebrand - Applicants should be prepared to discuss their own research capabilities, interests and experience.
- Ph.D. applicants must identify a research advisor to be fully admitted.
