ASU provides research opportunities to Ph.D. students in a variety of STEM disciplines, as well as graduate assistantships to exceptionally qualified doctoral candidates.

Currently, we are actively recruiting students interested in mathematics education.

Our research opportunities are relevant for candidates pursuing a Ph.D. in mathematics with a focus on mathematics education, and also for those pursuing the masters or doctorate in mathematics education.

At ASU, you will work with research faculty on funded projects in secondary schools and in undergraduate mathematics. You will be mentored in research on knowing, learning and teaching mathematics, and in research on the reform of mathematics curricula and instruction.

Research assistants participate in the design ofASU research studies, data collection and analysis, and in reporting research results.

Research assistants earn academic year stipends as well as health insurance and a tuition waiver. Currently funded projects will also provide summer funding for at least three years, conference travel for research presentations, and the use of a laptop computer while affiliated with a project.
