Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute invites applications for teaching and research assistantships leading to PhD degrees in nuclear engineering and science.  Due to rapidly expanding research portfolio by the program faculty, a total of 15 RA and TA positions are anticipated for the Fall 2013.  As the oldest engineering school in the U.S., RPI has a long history in nuclear engineering education and its top ranked nuclear engineering program covers nuclear fission and fusion engineering, electron accelerator physics and neutron physics, multiphase flow and reactor safety analysis, nuclear materials and fuel cycle, homeland security, and health/medical physics.   Major facilities include a 100-MeV electron accelerator and a nuclear reactor critical facility. The campus is located in the beautiful Capital Region of the New York State, and is within three hours from the New York City, Boston, and Adirondack National Park.

The deadline for summer/fall semester is December 15th. For admission requirements, visit
