Assistantships
Every year, MIT Sloan appoints a number of MBA students to teaching and research assistantships that vary in workload and compensation levels. While helping students cover their expenses, these competitive positions offer outstanding exposure to the school's educational and research programs. Responsibilities may include working one-on-one with students, assisting in research, and grading assignments and examinations. TA and RA positions are available each year to Master's-level students, as well as PhD students. MBA students are not able to pursue these opportunities until their second semester in the program.
Faculty members choose their own Research and Teaching Assistants, and each may have different application processes. Learn more about student employment opportunities.
