Work Opportunities

All incoming graduate students can apply for TA positions in late June-mid July. Hiring decisions will be available in mid-August. TA positions are available on a competitive basis; for the best chance of receiving a position, please apply to all the positions you believe you are qualified for. TA positions are paid at the CUPE 3902 Unit 1 rate ($51.93/hr). 

The Work Study Program offers paid, on-campus positions that provide you with an opportunity to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your skills and explore how your academic studies translate to career possibilities. Most work-study jobs provide practical experience related to the student's program of study. The Work Study program is open to both full-time and part-time undergraduate students (i.e. domestic and international students) and graduate students.

Students do not need to be OSAP eligible to apply for Work Study. Refer to the university's Financial Aid page for more details.

Work Study positions are usually posted on the Career Learning Network website after the first week of August. Positions for the summer are usually posted mid-April.
