Date: May 21st, 2014
Teaching Assistantship applications for Aerospace courses are now being accepted from the APSC and other
graduate students for the 2014-2015 academic year. Applications from undergraduate students who have taken
the corresponding courses may also be considered. Applicants must apply now to be considered for any position
that may arise during the academic year 2014-15. Opportunities may become available for any course at any
time. The application process is performed on-line at: www.aerospace.utoronto.ca/ta. Note that the on-line
submission of the form and accompanying information must be done by the deadline of 12noon August 1st,
2014. Applicants in a graduate program in Mechanical Engineering are sought particularly for AER336S,
AER372S and AER525F. Applicants who graduated from the undergraduate EngSci program (currently
graduate students in the APSC) as well as qualified undergraduate EngSci students, are sought particularly for
AER201S. Applicants are free to apply to any other AER course they feel qualified for.
Qualifications, Duties, and Hours of Work
All applicants are expected to include an undergraduate transcript. Applicants who did not receive their B.A.Sc.
from UofT Engineering are required to include scans or URL links for their course calendar descriptions (in
English) for relevant courses. Applicants may expect to be interviewed either in person or by telephone in the
days following August 1st 2014. Please provide contact information in your application form for this period.
Familiarity with the course content, progress of lectures and preparation of material for the respective course are
the necessary requirements. Teaching assistants are required to supervise laboratory sessions and/or mark and
grade reports, assignments, and notebooks as necessary, and assist in the examinations. The total duty time for
AER201S is 75-95 hours per academic year, depending on the class size. For all other courses in the enclosed
list, the total number of hours for each course is typically 35-75 hours, depending on the projected class size and
marking/laboratory requirements. AER201S, AER210F, AER302S, AER303F, AER304S, AER336S,
AER372S, AER406S, AER407F, and AER525F require student contact time on the main campus.
Salary and Training
The hourly rate of pay is $42.05 for graduate and undergraduate students. The rates are in accordance with the
collective agreement between the University of Toronto and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local
3902 representing teaching assistants. First-time teaching assistants will be paid to attend a mandatory training
session, typically in the beginning of the fall semester. Details of the training session will be posted in due
course. Please note that should rates stipulated in the collective agreement vary from rates stated in this
posting, the rates stated in the collective agreement shall prevail.
