Undergraduate Teaching Assistantship Application
From time to time, the department hires undergraduate teaching assistants if we do not have sufficient graduate-student TAs to meet our requirements. Preference is given to Physics students who have completed 2nd year, but others may apply.
Interested students should apply ahead of each term (March to April, July to August, and November to December). Click here to complete the application
Hiring decisions are mostly made just before the start of each term (end of August, beginning of January, and in April for the summer terms), although sometimes we need to hire in the middle of a term.
If you have any questions, you can contact Aileen Pineda at: physta@mcmaster.ca
