Graduate Research Assistantships
Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) positions are funded by faculty grants. They are limited and not guaranteed for all students.
When a faculty member is awarded a grant, an e-mail is sent to all newly accepted and currently enrolled public health students. Students will need to apply for a GRA through that specific faculty member. The faculty member will review all of the applications and choose a GRA based on the student’s qualifications and demonstrated areas of interest. Additional faculty members may also assist with the selecting a GRA
GRA positions can come from any department at Georgia State University. Many of our MPH students have GRA positions in various departments throughout the university community. Accepted students also will be able to contact the University’s Career Center to inquire about on-campus GRA opportunities. Accepted students can also contact departments on-campus and submit resumes directly
