Application for Teaching Assistants

Applications are now being accepted for the spring 2010 semester.

Review of applications begins November 21, so submit by Friday, November 20 for full consideration.

Important information:

Students from any major may apply to be Biology teaching assistants. Successful applicants are expected to register for BIO 490 (a one credit-hour course) regardless of major. Students who are Biology majors with two semesters of BIO 490 credit for TAing laboratory courses (or with BIO 490 credit for two different lab courses in one semester) may use BIO 490 as one of the four upper-division lab courses required by the major.

Application procedure:

All fields in bold should be filled in. Other fields should be completed as relevant. If you are interested in TAing an upper-division course, it would be helpful if you contacted the instructor to discuss the position.

You should receive an email confirming your application. If you do not, or if you have other questions about TAships and the application process, please contact Dr. Cullum: acullum@creighton.edu.

The department will contact you after we have reviewed the applications. Please be aware that a variety of factors, including applicants’ schedules, determines which inviduals eventually fill our available positions.
