Teaching Associates
The department hires qualified graduate students as Teaching Associates every semester. Although applications are accepted at any time, it is best to apply for a TA position by the stated deadlines. The deadline for Fall 2017 is June 1, 2018. The deadline for Spring 2019 is Oct 31, 2018.
To be considered for a TA position, you must be admitted as a classified graduate student in the Mathematics and Statistics department. Single Subject credential students in Mathematics are also eligible to apply.
The following documents are required to complete each application.
- Application form (PDF) or Application form (DOCX)
