Students

The TCNJ Research Assistant (RA) program provides a win-win opportunity for students and faculty to collaborate. Faculty benefit from a paid assistant, while students benefit from hands-on research experience and up to 100 hours of paid student employment for the semester. RAs are expected to participate in Celebration of Student Achievement in the Spring to share about their research activities or present to the department or in a group setting, as appropriate. RAs are for one semester - fall or spring. Students who are interested in applying for an RA position, please follow the instructions on this form.
