Teaching & research assistants

Teaching assistants (TAs)

We hire TAs each term in accordance with the CUPE 4163 collective agreement. Graduate students in our program are given priority. Undergraduate students and graduate students from other departments are welcome to apply. See the Human Resources site for the current salary rate.

Teaching assistants can be hired for specific courses, as markers or lab instructors/leaders. They can also work as consultants in the Assistance Centre, helping students in first- and second-year courses.

See job descriptions and postings on our TA job postings website.

Employment-based research assistants (ERAs)

Faculty with external research grants often hire graduate students as ERAs. Details of these appointments (salary, hours, etc.) are worked out between the student and the faculty member. Normally, professors will support graduate students under their supervision.

Professors may also hire graduate students to work part-time on research contracts with industry.

Contact faculty members to find out about possible openings.
