Teaching Assistant Opportunities

Please note that some TA opportunities for Spring 2022 will be completed in-person, while others will be completed remotely. Review the Teaching Assistant Opportunities: Course List below to see the location for each class. Please apply for only “Web” courses if you do not wish to TA in person.

SFU Beedie School of Business welcomes qualified graduate and undergraduate students to apply for Teaching Assistant, Open Lab Assistant, and Marker positions (abbreviated as "TA" on the rest of this page). Students must re-apply and be selected for TA positions each term.

When you apply, please have considered all relevant commitments for the semester so that you can budget the time necessary for a TA position. Positions are offered in increments of base units. One base unit will require up to a maximum of 40.9 hours of work. Generally, a person will not be offered more than 5 base units, or a maximum of 204.5 hours. For example, a 5 base unit position (maximum of 204.5 hours over the term) would be about 16 hours per week.
