Sandra Myres Graduate Research Assistant

As part of its efforts to support faculty research, the Center hires a Graduate Research Assistant who conducts research at UTA Special Collections and other related facilities. Named after the late Sandra Myres, UTA Professor of History, this position is held by qualified graduate students. In order to hold this position, students must have demonstrated skills in conducting research. Knowledge of Spanish is desirable, but not required.

Since establishing the Sandra Myres GRA in 1991, five people have held the position (David Filewood, Jose Delgado, Fred Hoover, Jimmy Bryan, and Linda Pelon). The GRA works twenty hours per week in assisting the Center faculty. To request assistance from the GRA, faculty use the attached form outlining their interests and needs. Up to four or five faculty may be assisted at any one time; therefore, the Graduate Research Assistant needs to be able to both work independently and to be able to handle more than one assignment at one time. All requests for assistance come through the Center Director. The Center Director assists the Graduate Research Assistant in prioritizing the workload. The Graduate Research Assistant is normally acknowledged in publications involving his/her research efforts. For more information, contact:
