The department of Educational Technology is pleased to announce openings for Graduate Assistantships for the 2009-2010 academic year, August 2009 to May 2010.

EDTECH graduate assistantships provide an excellent opportunity to:

• gain practical experience on real world projects or online teaching
• collaborate with faculty on research projects
• immerse yourself in the scholarship of educational technology
• include your work experience with the department on your resume.

Each graduate assistant is expected to work 20 hours per week to assist faculty with their teaching and research efforts. In return, the graduate assistant receives full waiver of course fees plus a $10,000 stipend (paid in biweekly installments over 9 months). Limited opportunities are also available as a part-time GA, working 10 hours per week and/or one semester per year.

Graduate assistants must be fully admitted into the EDTECH degree program, must enroll for a minimum of 9 credit hours each semester (6 units if part-time), and must meet any other requirements as set forth by the Graduate College. Priority is given to currently enrolled students.

Graduate assistants are provided with a BSU email account, access to the college intranet network system including Internet access (if on campus), and necessary software programs to perform the job. Distance-based GAs will be considered.

The GA application deadline is March 1, 2009.

Please include a short letter indicating 1) how many hours a week you can work (20=full-time, 10=part-time), 2) how many semesters you can work, and 3) whether you can work on campus or distance-based only.
