Position Description
Undergraduate and graduate students may apply for teaching assistant (TA) positions. TAs are typically scheduled to work 10 hours per week, but hours can vary depending on the position.
Students in this role provide general assistance to faculty in conducting their coursework and facilitating a positive student learning experience. The work typically involves activities such as grading assignments, conducting discussion/lab sessions, and holding office hours. The specific responsibilities for each position will be assigned by the instructor.
The courses listed in the application are anticipated to be offered for the fall semester, but we cannot guarantee that a TA position will be offered. Positions are always dependent upon budget and actual enrollment. The application deadline is April 25th, 2025.
If you have any questions, please contact katherine-dudley@uiowa.edu.
Attention, graduate students!
If you are applying for a GTA position, you are expected to have a 50% appointment during the semester for which you are applying. This means you must meet one of the following conditions:
- A 50% TA appointment, which is equivalent to 20 hours per week (being a TA for two courses)
- A combination of a 25% GRA appointment and a 25% GTA appointment.
Candidates with appointments of less than 50% are unlikely to be considered.
