Employment in the Chemistry Department

The Chemistry Department invites applications from its majors and minors for

employment as teaching and laboratory prep assistants. Students who have performed

these services for the department in the past have found that these jobs not only

provide financial benefits, but also provide useful training in the practical applications of

chemistry and ideal preparation for MCATs.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTA)

Laboratory TAs:

UTAs typically are assigned to teach limited sections of Chemistry 101L, 210L, 201L, or

202L lab. Each section of lab is approximately 14 students that meet on alternating

weeks in a 3-hour lab period. Laboratory TAs will NOT have responsibility for teaching

recitation sections. In addition, UTAs are expected to attend a bi-weekly TA meeting,

and complete all lab-related grading.

Laboratory TAs are required to complete a

training program immediately preceding the beginning of lab classes at the beginning of

each semester he or she will be teaching. Further details will be provided to those who

apply.

Recitation TAs:

UTAs will be assigned to teach limited 50-minute recitation sections, attend a weekly TA

meeting and complete any recitation-related grading. Specific course instructors will

contact recitation TAs prior to the semester regarding training.

All UTAs should expect to spend about 6-10 hours per week working. The pay rate will

be $10.00/hour.

Note: freshmen and sophomores who have not completed one entire year of organic

chemistry are NOT eligible to serve as UTAs but are eligible to serve as UPRAs.

Undergraduate Prep Room Assistants (UPRA)

UPRAs are involved in the preparation of solutions, supplies, equipment, etc. for use in

the general and organic lab courses. Usually sophomores or juniors serve as UPRAs,

but seniors may do so if they wish. We are always in need of good UPRA help and we

will try to arrange times to fit your schedule.

The pay rate will be $10.00/hour.
