Research Assignment support is highly variable depending on the subfield of research and the culture of the research area. Students are encouraged to discuss with potential research supervisors the experience of current PhD students in their groups. Student in some areas (often but not exclusively large experimental teams) may teach 5 or fewer teaching assignments for their Primary funding over the course of their degree. Students in other areas (often but not exclusively small theory groups) may be required to hold up to 3 quarters of teaching each year over the course of their program to satisfy Primary funding requirements. Students who do not hold research assignments or fellowship stipend positions are required to hold 3 teaching assignments each academic year. Students who are required to hold more than 3 teaching assignments in an academic year will receive additional compensation above their Primary funding amount.
