Research Assistantships (RA) position are "officially" called Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) positions at UCSD. RAs are typically awarded by the professor who is the holder of the research grant. Students typically are paid at 25% (10 hours/week) to 50% (20 hours/week). These appointments usually pay full fees and non-resident tuition (if applicable). GSR positions are available throughout the academic and summer months. Students are encouraged to read about faculty research and to contact faculty to arrange for a GSR position.
For the current payrate for GSRs see the Graduate Student Academic Title Pay Rates page. As of October 1, 2015, CSE is at the Step 8 rate.
