Teaching and Research assistantships

Teaching assistantship (TA)

You can often get a teaching assistant job for 100-120 hours in the fall and spring terms. There are a few teaching assistantships available in the summer term. Call for applications will be sent via email to all current grad students. 

More details on our TA positions here.

Research assistantship (RA)

There are two types of research assistantships at UVic which provide financial support to graduate students

  • ERA (Employment-based Research Assistantship) or
  • ARA (Academic Research Assistantship)

RAs are hired by faculty members and salaries come from faculty members’ research grants. Because of this, your RA type, hours, salary and other details are worked out directly between you and the faculty member.
