Job opportunities

Our department has ample job opportunities. Freshman students can work in helping labs and other things. Sophomore students can be a teaching assistant and/or a beginning research assistant.  In some sense, these positions are almost guaranteed. Junior and senior students can work as an active research assistant with the opportunities to go to conferences or simply enjoy working as a teaching assistant to gain experience for landing a teaching job.
