CWFR Graduate Research Assistantships

Each year the Center provides funding for four graduate students to focus on research in the area of work and family. Nominations are sought each spring for the following academic year. The Advisory Board of the Center evaluates the nominees, looking for students whose interests fit the goals of the center and who are at a stage in their careers at which they can benefit from having a year devoted to research. The Center strives to attract a strong and interdisciplinary pool of applicants that cuts across departments and colleges. The CWFR graduate assistants share a comfortable computer lab in the Center and enjoy getting to know each other. In addition to spending time on their own research and writing, the graduate assistants help with hospitality and arrangements for speakers and guests of the Center, and they organize monthly meetings for graduate students across the university to meet and discuss research in progress. Please contact Barbara King for information about the next round of deadlines for CWFR graduate research assistantship nominations.
