Mathematical Sciences TA and Grader positions

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

• Teaching Assistant (TA) positions involve teaching recitations, holding office hours, grading, communicating regularly with the course instructor, and assisting with miscellaneous tasks (such as photocopying course materials and proctoring exams).
• Grader positions are essentially "TA positions without recitations". They primarily involve grading homework assignments, quizzes and exams, but depending on the course, Graders may be asked to take on additional responsibilities, such as holding office hours and helping with exam proctoring.

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.

For more information about TA and Grader positions, please consult the TA and Grader Handbook, and contact Clive Newstead (cnewstead@cmu.edu) if you have any questions.
