Appointments and re-appointments
Teaching Assistants shall be offered appointments and re-appointments in the following ways:
New graduate students: The Director of Graduate Studies, upon recommendation by the Graduate Admissions and Recruiting Committee, shall offer teaching assistant positions to students in this category for a one-year term, renewable for the second year subject to satisfactory performance of duties and satisfactory progress toward a degree in physics.
Re-appointments: Offers of re-appointment shall be made by the Director of Undergraduate Studies after consultation with, and on the recommendation of a student’s graduate advisor, and the Director of Graduate Studies. The term of the appointment offered shall be established in consultation with the student and his/her advisor, and is contingent upon the availability of funds.
Preference for junior students: A student in his/her second or later year of graduate study may request an appointment as a teaching assistant for a specified length of time. Depending on the availability of funds, preference will generally be given to more junior students in our program, or to those in need of bridging funds in their RA appointment.
