A GPA of at least 3.1 is required to hold GSR
or GSI appointments.
- Graduate
Student Research Assistantships (GSR)
Research Assistantships are the usual means of support for Ph.D. students
for those terms in which they do not hold a formal GSI appointment.
Duties of the GSR are to aid in the formulation, execution, and reporting
of a research project. This project constitutes the thesis work done
by the student to obtain a Ph.D. degree. The stipend for a GSR comes
from contract or grant funds.
- Graduate
Student Instructor (GSI)
Teaching is an integral part of graduate education at Berkeley. One
of the best ways to solidify one's own grasp of a subject is to teach
it to someone else. All Chemistry graduate students serve as Graduate
Student Instructor's (GSI) for three semesters during their graduate
career, one during each of their first three years. Assignments may
vary. Some students will lead discussion sections in the introductory
chemistry courses and serve as assistants in the laboratory portion
of the course. Advanced students often serve as GSI in the upper division
laboratory or graduate courses.
