Graduate Research Assistantships in Participatory Action Research Project: Work with K-12 Teachers in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Teachers’ Democracy Project (TDP) is a grant-funded research project situated within the Language, Literacy and Culture (LLC) doctoral program at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

TDP will offer research assistantships to up to two graduate students accepted in the LLC Doctoral Program for the Fall of 2015 (application deadline: December 1, 2014). Please indicate in your admissions cover letter that you are also interested in this research assistant position, which will be decided in a separate process from the admissions process.

Research assistants earn a research stipend for 20 hours of work a week, and receive tuition credits for up to 10 credits per semester.  They also receive health benefits, a travel stipend for conferences, and have the opportunity to work on collaborative publications along with the co-researchers in the project.  

The work of a TDP research assistant involves working with the program PI and director on program management, assisting with all aspects of the research project, and direct work with teachers in classrooms.  We are particularly interested in graduate students who have a background in K-12 public education and/or in media production in educational settings.
