Available TA Jobs

  • Instructional TAs are needed for MATH 1105, 1110, 1120, 1710, and 1910. One lecture is a full-time job. Some prior classroom teaching experience is required.

In addition to teaching and grading, recitation TAs may be expected to assist with some of the administrative aspects of the course. A full-time job is 2 sections for MATH 1910, 1920, 2130 and 3 sections for MATH 1710, 2210, 2220, 2930, 2940. The single section of MATH 1220 is a half-time job, but it can be combined with other work to provide full-time support. The single recitation of MATH 2230 is a full-time job.
  • Czar's assistants are needed for MATH 1110 and 1120 to help the czar manage administrative aspects of the course — e.g., website, coordinating requests for make-up/extended time exams, communication with other instructors, supervising undergraduate course assistants (includes conducting meetings ever other week). These are non-teaching positions.
  • Graduate student graders will be assigned to most 3000- and 4000-level courses and some graduate courses. Courses with low enrollments may be assigned part-time graders, but two part-time assignments can be combined to provide full support. These are non-teaching positions.
