Graduate students in the Saint Louis University Department of Chemistry can access information on assistantships, awards and important documents. 

Graduate Assistantships

Assistantships are available to M.S. and M.A. in chemistry students at SLU interested in transitioning to the Ph.D. program and current chemistry Ph.D. students. The Department of Chemistry and external grants fund these assistantships.

Types of Assistantships

Saint Louis University's Department of Chemistry offers two types of assistantships to graduate students: teaching and research.

Teaching Assistant

As a teaching assistant, you will help faculty in chemistry laboratories and/or lecture classes for up to 20 hours per week, with the remaining time dedicated to research under your chosen mentor.

Research Assistant

As a research assistant, you will carry out research for a minimum of 40 hours per week. All externally funded chemistry assistantships are research assistant positions. Incoming graduate assistants are typically assigned as teaching assistants.

Chemistry Assistantship Requirements

You must be enrolled as a full-time graduate student and have a minimum 3.0 GPA in undergraduate chemistry coursework to be considered for an assistantship.

If you are admitted to the graduate program with a probationary status, you are not eligible for assistantships. If you raise your academic standing following your first semester to a GPA of 3.0 or higher, you can apply for an assistantship.

Stipends and Benefits

Graduate assistantships include a stipend of $24,000 for a 12-month contract period (usually beginning on July 1, although it may be prorated for August or January starts). In addition to full health benefits, an assistantship includes tuition for the academic year.

Maintaining the Assistantship

To keep an assistantship, you must stay enrolled in graduate coursework and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0. You must also work 40 hours per week in your assistantship capacity.

Deadline

Submit your complete application package to the graduate chemistry program by Jan. 15 to be considered for an assistantship.
