Research Assistant Opportunities
The Department is always eager to recruit enthusiastic graduate students to support and participate in its core research programs.Subject areas include computational and experimental aerodynamics, finite element of structures, computational engineering, aerodynamics of ground vehicles, control systems, aircraft flight dynamics and control, and space systems.Qualified applicants are eligible for financial support ranging between $15,000 and $18,000 per calendar year.Doctoral students will also receive a full waiver of tuition and fees.Out-of-State Masters students will have their tuition fees reduced to the in-state rates.
