RA or TA Assistantship

Please scroll away if you are not a poor CS graduate. Here are several ways you could try to get some assistantship:

RA:

  • CS department faculty
  • National Center for Supercomputing Applications
  • Other departments at UIUC (hopefully it's really CS's era and everyone needs a computer student to make slides for them)

TA:

  • The form you got from CS department
  • Or you could try contact CS professors you know (Maybe having a grade of B- or up is a bonus)
  • Assistantship Clearinghouse
