A limited number of graduate assistantships are awarded each academic year to students in the Dept. of Learning Technologies masters and doctoral programs only. Graduate-level students may apply for and be placed with faculty in teaching or research positions. Interested students must complete the Application for Graduate Assistantship and submit it by the department's deadline for consideration. Applications for the 2026-27 academic year are due May 15, 2026.

Due to current UNT policy, distributed students living greater than 50 miles outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area are ineligible to apply. This position is restricted to current LTEC students who are residential and living in the DFW area.

Positions are open until filled. Positions for the 25-26 academic years have been filled.

The selection process is very competitive and students should meet the following conditions:

  • Academic Merit and Full-time Enrollment
  • Good academic standing in all courses and good progress toward a degree
  • Responsibility and reliability based on previous evaluation in case of reappointment as assessed by supervising faculty or staff
  • Collegiality and ability to take and follow directions and work constructively as a team member
  • Live within Texas (remote work is not available for students living in states outside of Texas)

The graduate assistantship term of employment is for both the Fall and Spring semesters. A limited number of positions may be available for Summer terms. Assistantships are salaried and require either 10 or 20 hours a week, depending on FTE assignment. Positions are available online, but some assistantships may require students to be onsite at Discovery Park between the hours of  8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. For more information on assistantship resources and benefits, visit the Toulouse Graduate School website. For prospective TAs/TFs/RAs applicants whose primary language isn’t English, please particularly read the section “Language Support” closely.

Graduate assistants will be evaluated by their faculty supervisors at the end of every semester. Reappointment in the next semester or year depends on the GA evaluation and the availability of funding.

UNT graduate assistantships do not include Tuition Benefit Program, which is a separate application program through the Toulouse Graduate School Tuition Benefit Program (TBP). Please indicate on your application if you are interested in applying in TBP.
