Required Qualifications:
• As per the Collective Agreement, must be enrolled as a student in the Fall 2022 semester.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, and being able to communicate mathematical/statistical concepts on modeling and simulation to students effectively.
• Ability to to conduct tutorials on calculus and probability to students who do not have the necessary exposure prior to the course.
• Must be available to conduct scheduled labs in F19, and office hours (as allocated by the instructor of the course) throughout the semester.
• An advanced knowledge of modeling and simulation of computer systems, including simulation using spreadsheets, event scheduling algorithms, statistical models in simulation, statistical hypothesis testing, input modeling, and validation of models. This knowledge should be demonstrated by a B+ (77%) or higher performance from an undergraduate course on system modeling and simulation or research experience on a subject with extensive use of system modeling and simulation.
• Must be available to invigilate in-class midterm and final exams.
• Normally, the completion of an undergraduate degree in Computer Science.
• Given the shift towards online and hybrid course structures, all teaching assistants are required to maintain an internet connection strong enough to perform the duties required of their position during the duration of their contract. Potential TAs should apply with the understanding that a need to adapt to changing teaching situations may be required within the duration of the semester.
