Finding an advisor

The MSE dept. does not assign new students to an advisor; instead, we ask that you meet with each of the faculty who have openings. The professor you work with will act as your academic and research advisor during your graduate studies at Ohio State.

Below, please find the list of available funded research positions. Please meet first with faculty who have openings in your area(s) of interest. If, after meeting with these professors, you do not have an advisor, please meet with the remaining faculty on the list who have openings and come to an agreement to work with one of these faculty. You are required to find an advisor from the funded openings available. This should occur during your first quarter of enrollment.

You are strongly encouraged to contact any faculty member below who shares your field of interest. Contacting the faculty prior to your arrival on campus can help speed your placement on a research project.

Every effort is made to match you with a project in your field of interest. However, we have only a few positions, each of which has a narrow research focus. Therefore, you may find that the area of research you will be working in is not an exact match with your interests.

When you have found an advisor, inform the department Human Resources Officer, 176 Watts Hall, and Mark Cooper, 477 Watts Hall.

GRA positions

At this time we are evaluating our GRA needs for Spring, Summer, and Autumn quarters. As our research staffing requirements are known we will update our GRA openings on this page.

You may contact Mark Cooper with any questions you might have. Mr. Cooper may be reached via the contact info found in the footer section of this page.

Additionally, it is recommended that you review the MSE Faculty page and select faculty who share your areas of interest. Please contact these faculty directly to discuss all GRA openings for which they anticipate funding in the coming quarters.
