Graduate Teaching Assistant position description
The Women's Studies Program will have available for the coming year one or more positions for a graduate teaching assistant. Students appointed will assist with the core courses in Women's Studies and lead discussion sections of those courses. In addition, they may aid in research, development, and planning events related to the Program. Contingent upon satisfactory performance of duties, the assistant may be reappointed for a second academic year.
The assistant should be a graduate student in good standing, show evidence of relevant experience, display an interest and/or background in Women's Studies, have good research abilities, and possess excellent English written and oral communication skills. Ordinarily, our teaching assistants are expected to enroll in the graduate certificate in Women's Studies. We strive for graduate student representation from a variety of disciplines.
Applicants should provide a current résumé, the Graduate School's assistantship application, two letters of recommendation, a writing sample, and a letter explaining their interest in the position. Students must file for work study funds if they have not already done so. The position is open until filled, but we will begin reviewing applications on March 2, 2009.
