Teaching Assistantship Positions (Fall 2025)

Teaching assistantships are offered at the time of admission to the most qualified Ph.D. students in our application pool.  These offers are decided by the department’s Graduate Admissions Committee. The admissions committee takes into account all the information available to them at the time of admission.   Budget fluctuations and many other factors can affect the number of offers extended to students. 

Teaching assistantship positions include a stipend of $26,000.00 for your first academic year of study and an academic year tuition scholarship. Your tuition scholarship also comes with a fee scholarship to cover your broad-based fees.

More information about our PhD program can be found here. Please feel free to contact  Dr. Lori Scarlatos at Lori.Scarlatos@stonybrook.edu or MaryPat Taveras (department Graduate Program Coordinator, marypat.taveras@stonybrook.edu ) with any questions you may have.
