Teaching Assistant and Instructional Assistant Applications

Types of Interest Forms

No jobs are guaranteed until Notification of Offer email messages are sent to the student (typically two weeks prior to the start of the semester).

Students should *NOT* reach out directly to instructors regarding positions as this is viewed as spam.

How to Express Interest in a TA or an IA Position

TA Interest Form

To be considered for a TA position, complete the TA interest form and submit it before the deadline.

Please note that students should make every effort to arrange their schedules to be open during the class meeting time if they are assigned to a course that is taught at University Park. In cases where this is simply not possible, students should make alternate arrangements with the instructor to whom the student is assigned.

IA Interest Form

To be considered for an IA position, complete the IA interest form and submit it before the deadline. IAs who are assigned to a faculty member must complete the PSU job application in addition to the interest form. The link to the PSU job application will be sent to your PSU email account.

Please note that successful IAs schedules should be open during the class meeting time if they are assigned to a course that is taught at University Park.
