Winter 2021 GTA Positions Available

Posted on Thursday, November 5th, 2020

The Winter 2021 Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) positions have now been posted. The deadline for applications is November 17, 2020.

In order to be considered for a position, you must apply online through the Academic Staff Work Assignments website for each of the positions you are interested in.  You must be logged into the site in order to apply for the positions.  Instructions are on the home page. You must use your uoguelph.ca email account or you will not be able to apply. Do not create a new account.

You may apply to multiple positions; note that "consider me for all other positions in the department" will only apply if there are no qualified candidates who have applied for a position (in SEDRD, this is rare). The best way to ensure that your application is considered for a position is to apply directly to that position. 

Remember: you will be assessed based on your application. Include all relevant details, paying particular attention to the qualifications listed in the posting. You will be able to upload a CV in addition to the online form - if you'd like to include a cover letter you will need to merge the cover letter and CV into one file. It is important that the selection committee is able to assess your file based on the information you have provided in your application. 

Levels of Consideration:

  1. LOC #1 - These are students who have been guaranteed a GTA position in their offer letter
  2. LOC #2 - Students within their prescribed program period (Masters is 6 full-time semesters; PhD is 9 full-time semesters). Most SEDRD applications will fall in this category.
  3. LOC #3 - Students who are outside of their prescribed program period (i.e. beyond the time-frames listed above)

The successful candidate will be required to work in accordance to the University's policies re: COVID-19, and for these courses, can work remotely (no face-to-face requirements), primarily via the University’s CourseLink system, during regular University instructional hours (8:30 AM to 10:00 PM EST).

 If you are offered a position, an automated email will be sent notifying you that an offer letter is available. You must accept the offer through the online portal (the email will provide instructions). I will circulate another email to let you know when all of the positions have been filled.

Please contact Jennifer McCreary, SEDRD Administrative Officer if you have any questions.
