TA Program |
The Math Department provides financial
assistance for most of the students accepted into the PhD program.
The majority of the assistance comes in the form of a Teaching Assistant
position in the Math classes offered by the Department.
Occasionally in the Fall semester, we will hire graduate students from other departments who are interested in teaching. We rarely hire in the Spring semester because there are less classes being taught. TA assignments for the Fall semester are not finalized until the week before school starts in late August. All of the Math PhD students are assigned to the positions first and then whatever is left is what is considered for other students outside the department.
If you would like to be considered for a TA position, please submit your application in mid to late August. You can find a link to the application below. Occasionally we hire students for grader positions as well, see the link for that application as well.
TA Application (for
students outside the Math Department)
Application is not available unless we have posted an opening for a position.
For the Spring semesters, we do not expect to hire any TAs.
We will NOT know, for sure, until the week before classes begin.
NOTE: To be eligible for a limited-term Teaching Assistantship, an applicant should meet the academic standards/ requirements of his/her home academic department.
You may submit an application but we will not know how many (if any) positions are available until the week before classes begin.
