Teaching Assistant Opportunities
Please note that all TA opportunities for Spring 2021 will be completed remotely.
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. Keep in mind that these hours are primarily worked over the course of about 13 weeks during the semester. For example, a 5 base unit position (maximum of 204.5 hours over the term) would be about 16 hours per week.
| Base Units | Approximate Weekly Hours | Max Total Hours |
|---|
| 1 | 4 | 40.9 |
| 2 | 7 | 81.8 |
| 3 | 10 | 122.7 |
| 4 | 13 | 163.6 |
| 5 | 16 | 204.5 |
If you have any questions, please contact Christopher Piché, TA Coordinator: tacoord@sfu.ca or (778) 782-3500
