I am currently exploring the possibility of undertaking a PhD and have a query regarding the roles of Teaching Assistant (TA) and Research Assistant (RA). I am particularly interested in understanding the feasibility and legality of holding both positions simultaneously during a PhD program. My questions are as follows:
Is it common or acceptable for PhD students to be both a TA and an RA at the same time?
Are there specific countries or universities where this practice is more prevalent or officially permitted?
