I was recently hired as a research assistant for the 2011-2012 academic year working directly under a professor who is a registered architect. The projects are all related to my professors practice and independent of anything going on in school. It is a paid position, 40 hours/week. However, my college is signing the paychecks. Reviewing the requirements, hours should qualify for workplace D if you aren't counting it as a firm since the university is technically the ones paying me. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
if the prof is a licensed architect, you seem to have met the minimum 30 hours/week threshold for IDP credits in setting D. Just make sure you log the hours appropriately for the research that you're engaged in. As a grad student, you are eligible before you graduate (but undergrads can't get credit). good luck and congrats on being hired.
Thank you very much Barry for your comments and clarification. I asked around my office as well and they seem to be convinced I'll be able to record any hours under worksetting D too. It should be a great way to knock out 1200 hours and be that much closer to licensure.
I have a question about this, to what "experience requirement" will you attribute these research hours? I am in a similar situation, doing research at an architecture firm, but the research is more general and I'm wondering how I might get some IDP out of this.
Earning IDP hours working as a research assistant?

On a side note, who is that professor blowing in the Dean's office to get a full-time RA for his professional practice work? That is a great perk!
In the end I was able to qualify under "Worksetting A" so I filled in the hours accordingly. I put hours towards everything in Categories A, B and D.
