Mathematical Sciences TA and Grader positions

There are two kinds of course assistant positions in the Department of Mathematical Sciences:

The expected time commitment for all TA and Grader positions is 8–12 hours per week, on average, up to 15 hours in any single week.

Compensation is $16.00 or $17.00 per hour (depending on experience) as of Fall 2024—the pay for Spring 2025 positions has not yet been set, but will not be lower than this.

More information about TA and Grader positions can be found in the TA and Grader Handbook. Please contact Clive Newstead (cnewstead@cmu.edu) if you have any further questions.

Application requirements:

Factors taken into account when determining who will receive an offer include demonstrated academic success (particularly in mathematics courses), prior teaching or grading experience, comments from the faculty reference, preferences indicated on the application form, and (for TA positions with recitations) schedule availability. There are generally far more applicants than positions, so not all qualified applicants will receive an offer.
