The Academic Senate has a small travel fund for use by graduate students who have advanced to Ph.D. candidacy. Grants are made to doctoral students invited to present papers or results of research at major professional meetings and conferences. The conference must be an important one to the discipline; preference will be given to travel associated with potential academic employment. Students are eligible to receive one Doctoral Student Travel Grant during their graduate career at UCSB. The Graduate Student Association also provides conference travel grants once per academic year. All graduate students that are in good standing and are interested in traveling for their studies are encouraged to apply, if eligible.

The Department awards approximately 70 teaching assistantships per quarter. Most are 20 hour/week appointments. All students must hold teaching assistantships for at least 3 quarters (not necessarily consecutive quarters) to meet the departmental Ph.D. degree requirement minimum. The TA Oversight Committee determines course teaching assistant assignments in accordance with the DCB Rules for TA Assignment. Exceptions require advance approval from the Department Chair. Students typically hold Teaching Assistant appointments during the first and/or second year of graduate study. All students appointed for 25% time (10 hrs/wk) or more will be eligible for mandatory student health insurance and partial tuition and fee remission. Students are typically nominated for TA positions by their primary research advisor, but you may also self-nominate at least 6 weeks in advance of the quarter in which you would like to TA. Please reach out to the Staff Graduate Advisor if you would like to self-nominate.
