Most mathematics TAs are mathematics graduate students with continuing commitments as TAs and developing experience teaching mathematics courses. The number of LTE TAs who will be hired in a given semester varies enormously, changing with undergraduate enrollments, numbers of mathematics graduate students, and many other factors. In a typical fall semester it is common to hire several LTE TAs, while in the spring semester we may hire none. There is some reason to believe that we will not be hiring any LTE TAs for fall 2001, or at least that the number will be much lower than in recent years. You are still welcome to apply, as described below, but you should not attach a very high probability to getting an LTE position.
FAs usually have a PhD in mathematics.
The application procedure for FAs and many of the details of the positions are the same as for LTE TAs, detailed below. The form is available from the Graduate Programs Secretary, Ms. Sherry Lange, in 218 Van Vleck Hall. Click here to go to the form.
