Winter 2024
Applicants must be students registered in a McGill MA or PhD graduate program in the Winter 2024 term.
Applications are now closed. TA positions for Winter 2024 were posted on 13 October 2023. The deadline to submit applications was 6 November 2023.
Please note that given the resumption of most in-person teaching activities, Teaching Assistants will be required on campus to perform their tasks in person. Should government restrictions prohibit the resumption of in-person teaching activities, courses will revert to remote teaching. In the event of such a change, Teaching Assistants will be advised as soon as possible. Teaching Assistants may be required to perform tasks suited to a remote/online teaching environment using a virtual learning platform [e.g., Zoom, WebEx] and the McGill myCourses learning management system.
