In accordance with Article 12:1 of the CUPE 4580 Collective Agreement,  the School of Computer Science invites applications for Graduate Assistantship (GA) and Teaching Assistantship (TA) positions for the INTER/SUMMER 2023 term.

 

All INTER/SUMMER 2023 courses and labs will be on campus (including some Distance Education courses that may require on-campus office hours). All GA/TA employees must make themselves available,  and must be available for all assigned duties, both on-campus and online as required.

 

The University of Windsor health and safety protocols and public health and safety regulations that are in place must be observed for any face-to-face or on-campus duties required to support INTER/SUMMER term 2023 courses.

 

Note: The on-campus requirement may be subject to change, pending any University of Windsor announcements.

 

Some positions are open to both GAs and TAs; however, GA applicants are given priority.

 

Each GA position is expected to be for a total of 140 hours. A limited number of GA positions may be available for fewer hours. GA appointments cannot exceed 140 hours total for the INTER/SUMMER 2023 term period May 1st, 2023 to August 31st, 2023.

A) Phase I information: Graduate students must maintain fulltime registration throughout the term and must be in good standing in the degree program to hold a GA position. Students who meet the Phase I tuition refund deadline for the INTER/SUMMER 2023 term are therefore not eligible to hold a GA in the same term. See Faculty of Graduate Studies Important Dates.

 

B) Graduate Assistants must apply each term by the application deadline, in accordance with Article 13: "With respect to those students who have applied for and been accepted for Assistantships, the Assistant will not be paid for any shortfall of hours at the end of their respective program, provided the University has satisfied its obligation to post available

 

positions each term in writing and on the AAU website and to offer the minimum terms of support in accordance with Article 13:01 (a) & (b) and provided that the Assistant has applied in writing or via e-mail by the application deadline for each term until they have received the minimum terms of support in accordance with Article 13:01 (a) & (b)."

 

C) MAC information: The Master of Applied Computing Program (MAC) is not an eligible program to support GA funded positions. Consequently, applications from students registered in the MAC program will not be eligible for consideration.

 

Undergraduate students must be registered throughout the term and must be in good standing in the degree program to hold a TA position.

International undergraduate students must be registered fulltime and be in good standing to hold a TA position.
