If interested in being a Teaching Assistant, fill out an application and take it to room 120.
**Note: Availability of TA positions are dependent on many factors. Preference will first be given to Political Science Ph.D. students, followed by Masters students with a strong political science background. Applications are kept on file and will be contacted on a need basis. If an applicant is needed, they will usually be notified a week prior to the beginning of the semester.
