Graduate Student Information
Students seeking graduate research assistant appointments in the Communication Research Laboratory need to first apply and be accepted by an KSU academic department, such as
Computer and Information Systems,
Electrical Engineering, or
Physics. Please do not apply to the Communication Research Lab for graduate study as we are not an academic department and cannot respond to your request.
We usually considers new graduate research assistants in the Summer & Fall of each year from among the group of new students accepted to KSU or at other times from KSU graduate students who are currently enrolled in an academic department at KSU. New Research Assistant appointments require the availability of funding from non-KSU sources and/or the graduation of senior students in the lab, and thus are not always available.
Currently all the positions have been filled.
