Our PhD students in more systems and applications focused research fields typically hold 3 or fewer teaching assignments for their Primary funding over the course of their degree. Students in more theoretically focused research areas may be required to hold up to 3 quarters of teaching each year over the course of their program to satisfy Primary funding requirements. Students who do not hold research assignments or fellowship stipend positions are required to hold 3 teaching assignments each academic year. Students who are required to hold more than 3 teaching assignments in an academic year will receive additional compensation above their Primary funding amount.
