APPLICATION Intro Bio Lab TA (Spring 2024)
DUE DATE: Friday, January 5, 2024

HOW TO APPLY: Fill out the Google form below AND submit your resume on Workday (JR3049)

Description:
Introductory Biology Lab TAs will work in-person to provide critical assistance to the main lab instructors during each 3-hr lab period for the Spring 2024 semester. Lab TAs are invaluable resources for assisting students with lab activities/lessons, worksheets, and experiments. Lab TAs will also have the opportunity to work in collaboration with the Science Writing Fellows to help students with their lab reports outside of the normal lab period (this is optional).
Lab TAs are enthusiastic about mentoring younger students just beginning their biology journey, and seek to be role models who encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity in their peers. The ideal TA is supportive, patient, and kind, and wants their peers to succeed in this foundational course for the major and pre-health tracks.

Qualifications:
Applicants should have earned a B or better in both BC1501 Introductory Lab in Organismal and Evolutionary Biology and BC1503 Introductory Lab in Cell and Molecular Biology. In addition to assisting the lab instructors during a 3-hr lab period, Lab TAs are expected to prepare for each lab on their own time (~1 hr per week, which is unpaid prep-work). The maximum period of time a student can work in this position is 4 semesters. This criterion enables the Biology Department to increase its opportunities for students to work as teaching assistants for Intro Biology Labs.

Pay:
$16 per hour, plus 25 cents per semester of experience.
