Graduate Research Opportunities

Research assistantships are available for outstanding graduate students who are interested in working with TRC researchers. Most graduate students working with the TRC are enrolled in the Civil and Environmental Engineering MS or PhD program; however, an engineering background is not required. It is often possible to work on TRC-supported research while pursuing a graduate degree from another UVM graduate program. Prospective graduate students should contact individual TRC faculty before applying to a graduate program to discuss mutual research interests, programs of study, and funding availability. Visit the list of TRC faculty and their bios. If you are not sure of who to contact or have general questions about TRC research and related graduate programs, please e-mail us at transctr@uvm.edu.
