Professional development
Teaching assistantships
TA assignments are drawn up by professors based upon enrollments in their classes and anticipated needs. There are three types of single-term, half-class TA assignments: TA45 (45 hours), TA90 (90 hours), TA130 (130 hours). The assignments are often very different in character; some might, for instance, be mostly marking, some might be running tutorial groups. There will nonetheless be a rough equity of workload for each type. For more information, contact the Associate Director, Graduate Studies and Research: adresgrd@dal.ca.
Research assistantships
As faculty members obtain research grants, they often hire research assistants to help them accomplish their research goals. If you are interested in becoming a research assistant, you are encouraged to discuss upcoming opportunities with the Associate Director, Graduate Studies and Research: adresgrd@dal.ca.
