Graduate Assistantships
Department of Computer Science & Engineering
University of Nevada, Reno, USA
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University
of Nevada, Reno (UNR) (
http://www.cse.unr.edu) invites applications for
graduate assistantships. Successful applicants will receive financial
support through teaching assistantships (TAs) or research assistantships
(RAs). RAs will conduct innovative research in cooperation with and under
the supervision of departmental faculty. Activities of RAs include
implementing prototype systems, developing and proving new theory,
conducting experiments, attending international conferences, and publishing
their results in scholarly journals and conferences. TAs work under the
supervision of departmental faculty in support of the teaching mission of
the university. Activities of TAs include teaching recitation sections or
laboratories, assisting in grading, and assisting in the development of
course materials and exams. Typical support for graduate assistantships
covers the student's tuition and fees, health insurance, and offers a
minimum financial stipend of $1,550 / month.
Both M.S. and Ph.D. students are eligible for the graduate assistantships.
However, strong preference will be given to those applying or pursuing a
Ph.D. degree. The department currently has 35 PhD students in the program
and expects to increase the size to 50 over the next few years. Many of the
department's full-time PhD students are currently fully supported, and the
department expects to have sufficient funding to support additional
students in the upcoming years. Students who wish to enter the graduate
program must possess a Bachelors degree in computer science, computer
engineering or a related field. The department will consider applications
from students lacking this background if they show exceptional promise.
Specifics of admission process and program requirements can be found at:

The CSE Department has 15 full time faculty members and offers B.S., M.S.,
and Ph.D. degrees supporting a dynamic and growing program with more than
500 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. Graduate students in CSE are
given the opportunity to focus on a specific area by taking advanced
courses and becoming significantly involved in many aspects of original
research and advancing scientific knowledge. There are four main research
areas within the Department: Computer and Network Systems (Dwight Egbert,
Mehmet Gunes, Yaakov Varol, Murat Yuksel, Shamik Sengupta), Games and
Simulations (Bobby Bryant, Dwight Egbert, Eelke Folmer, Sushil Louis),
Intelligent Systems (George Bebis, Bobby Bryant, Sushil Louis, Mircea
Nicolescu, Monica Nicolescu, David Feil-Seifer), and Software Systems
(Sergiu Dascalu, Eelke Folmer, Fred Harris). Research topics within these
focus areas with strong faculty expertise include: artificial intelligence,
evolutionary computing, robotics, computer vision, graphics, digital
interactive games, security, human-computer interaction, software
engineering, parallel and distributed computing, embedded systems,
networks, and wireless communications. Our research activities and
experimental facilities have been well supported by major funding agencies,
including NSF, DoD, DHS and NASA as well as by companies such as Google,
Microsoft and AT&T.
Universities across the country have found it necessary to raise tuition
and fees in recent years, and UNR is no exception. However, UNR's tuition
and fees continue to rank near the median of Western U.S. public
universities. In 2010-11, of the 16 western public universities, UNR ranked
#6 for resident graduate tuition (#1 is the lowest) and #10 for
non-resident graduate tuition (source: WICHE). UNR is an integral part of
the Reno metro area, home to about 350,000 people. The 255-acre main
campus, located minutes from downtown Reno, features both contemporary and
historic architecture, and the university?s tree-lined Quadrangle is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places. The academic atmosphere is
filled with rich surroundings for the cultural and intellectual development
of the students. Reno benefits from a comfortable climate; and is bounded
on the west by the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range and on the east by
the rolling basin and range province. There are four distinct seasons in
this cool, dry climate where the sun shines nearly 290 days a year. The
area is noted for its variety of recreational opportunities, which include
sailing, camping, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing. Within an hour?s drive
of the campus, for example, are Lake Tahoe in the High Sierra; and Pyramid
Lake, a unique prehistoric desert sea; and a number of nationally known ski
areas, including Squaw Valley, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Reno
is within 2 hours' drive from Sacramento and 3.5 hours' drive from San
Francisco.
For consideration, interested applicants must submit the Graduate
Assistantship and Fellowship Application Form
