Teaching Assistantships & Summer Support

The Department of Biology offers several Teaching Assistantships for PhD students on a competitive basis. 

The Teaching Assistantship includes a full tuition award, a 12-month stipend of $30,000, and 80% of student health insurance at TCU. The award is renewable for up to five years, based on satisfactory performance. The workload is no more than 20 hours per week during the 9-month academic year, and most students are assigned to teach labs in either our Majors Biology Lab course (BIOL10523) or Contemporary Issues in Biology (BIOL 10003).
