Teaching Assistantships
ONLY CURRENT OR ACCEPTED STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS
TAships will generally comprise a combination of laboratory teaching (usually onsite, but sometimes over Zoom) and lab/lecture grading; some grading-only TAships are also available. Laboratory sections are scheduled for weekday mornings (8:30 am), afternoons (2:30 pm), evenings (6:00 pm), and also on Saturday afternoons (1:30 pm). When indicating periods of non-availability on the TA Application, please indicate periods of non-availability due to only: course scheduling conflicts, research commitments (e.g. start of the "field season" for your research) or family/faith commitments. If your field season takes up most of a semester then it may not be feasible to assign a TAship for that semester. Lastly, if your upcoming semester schedule changes after applying for a TAship, please promptly inform the Biology Department (biology.office@uregina.ca).
