All Teaching Assistant postings and application instructions are on the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ website.ÌýÌý

A full teaching assistantship consists of 180 hours of work per term (an average of 12 hours per week). In general, students are limited to one full TA-ship per term. Exceptions to this rule require GPD/AGPD approval. They may be granted in situations where TAs are offered more than 180 hours in a single course. The department does not generally allow students to hold multiple TA-ships in different courses (including courses in other departments/hiring units), if the total hours exceed 180 hours per term.

As a Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ student not currently employed at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾, you will be directed to create a Workday account. Please use a personal email (not a Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ email such as @mail.mcgill.ca or a @mcgill.ca) to create this account for the first time. 

Candidates who are current Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ employees receiving a salary (not a graduate student stipend) will be routed to apply through their already active Workday account.
