USA: PhD Student Scholarships, Research/Teaching Assistantships Available

The Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at San Antonio invites applicants to the doctoral program in computer science for Spring 2010. Doctoral students participate in advanced course-work and work closely with a faculty advisor in original research leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Computer Science.

The department currently has 58 PhD students in the program and expects to increase the size to 75 over the next years. Accepted students will be automatically considered for financial support through scholarships, teaching assistantships, and/or research assistantships. All of the department's full-time PhD students are currently fully supported, and the department has sufficient funding to support many more students in the upcoming year. Support for a typical PhD student pays for the student's tuition and fees and offers financial compensation of $18,000 or more per year (12 months). Research Assistants will conduct innovative research in cooperation with and under the supervision of department faculty. Activities of research assistants include implementing prototype systems, developing and proving new theories, conducting experiments, attending international conferences, and publishing their results in scientific journals.


Teaching Assistants work under the supervision of department faculty in support of the teaching mission of the university. Activities of teaching assistants include teaching recitation sections or laboratories, assisting in grading, and assisting in the development of course materials and exams.

The Department of Computer Science currently has 25 faculty members and offers B.S.,M.S., and Ph.D. degrees supporting a dynamic and growing program with approximately 400 undergraduate and 120 graduate students. The research activities and experimental facilities have been well-supported by various federal research and infrastructure grants.

With more than 28,000 students, UTSA is the largest university in SouthTexas. The city of San Antonio has a population of over one million and is known for its rich Hispanic culture, historic attractions, low cost of living, and excellent medical facilities. The Austin-San Antonio corridor is a high-tech center that serves as the home of many major computer companies. Nearby higher education and research institutions include the UT Health Science Center and the Southwest Research Institute.

Admission is competitive, and applications are due on October 1, 2009. Applicants must have or expect to have a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a closely related area by December 2009.
