Notes

Marking Only and Help Centre jobs are more independent so a higher GPA and experience is required.
Marking must be done in a timely manner, and undergraduate Physics TAs don’t work in the exam period, so all marking must be returned by the first day of exams.
Physics TAs typically work ~40 hours per term, including marking. Where fewer hours are noted <, strong senior TAs may be considered for two small jobs concurrently, for example the Help Center TA and Observatory Assistant may be the same person.
Job offers are schedule specific so e-mail cpettipa@mta.ca if you discover a conflict or have questions.
