TA Duties
As TSE full scholarship recipients, students will be asked to carry teaching assistantships, to support professors while working toward your own coursework. We expect you to assist the professors with instructional responsibilities, and to be punctual, responsible, and responsive in a timely manner. This will be a great opportunity to work closely with and learn from the professors. The TA duties usually include (but are not limited to) communicating with the students and instructor, managing the e-learning platform and readings, preparing the lecture room, operating the online meeting and recording devices if needed, etc. Taking the course or not is not a mandatory requirement for the TA position. If you take a course and work as TA for that course at the same time, you will not grade other students or yourself, nor will it affect your own grades in any way.
TA Salary
Please note that the University operates on a payroll lag of about one month, and the TA salary is postpaid and pre-tax.
E.g. If a student has been registered as TA for October, he/she should receive the October salary in November, usually between November 15 and November 30.
How to Apply
Next semester's TA positions will be open for application by email notice. The allocation results will be announced around late August or early September.
How to Register
a. Acquire a valid work permit (international students only)
For international students, a work permit valid for the entire semester is required to work as TAs. We recommend applying for it as soon as possible, as this will affect the salary payment schedule. The later one submits one's work permit, the longer it will take to receive one's salary.
