Every year, MIT Sloan appoints a number of MBA students to teaching and/or research assistantships. While helping students cover their expenses, these positions offer outstanding exposure to the School's educational and research programs. Teaching assistants (TAs) typically conduct recitation sessions, work one-on-one with students, and grade assignments and examinations. Research assistants (RAs) work with a faculty member and/or research center on specific research initiatives. Over 175 TA and RA positions are available each year.
