The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) - School of Public Health

Graduate Research Assistant

November 2021 • Austin, TX

What I liked

People! Everyone at the School of Public Health in Austin is kind, helpful, and brilliant! I work with Dr. Byrd-Williams on Maternal and Child Health projects and highly recommend her. Benefits are good - as a single mother I was especially grateful for back-up childcare reimbursement (10 days/ year). Compensation is not great, but GRA are extremely underpaid nation-wide. The position qualified me for in-state tuition, so that helped a ton.

What I wish was different

Higher compensation.

Advice

Find a professor that does research in your area of interest and reach out to them!

What I liked

I enjoyed working with the Office of Academic Affairs and Student Services. The staff was exceptionally friendly.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more parking and transit options near the school.

Advice

I recommend taking a look at the website of the school to understand its structure. The school is very unique in that it is one institution with six regional campuses.
