This application form is for students interested in positions as an Introductory Biology Undergraduate TA and/or an Introductory Biology Peer Teacher. Intro Bio UTAs take lead instruction on one lab section and are responsible for lab preparation, instruction and grading - this position takes 6-10 hours per week. Intro Bio Peer Teachers support TAs by answering questions, taking attendance and providing general support to students - this position is 3 hours per week.
Both positions are paid: UTA positions are paid hourly (current rate: $15/hour), Peer Teachers receive a stipend at the end of the semester (currently $350 per semester). We are hiring UTAs for the full academic year (Fall 2025-Spring 2026), but we are hiring Peer Teachers for Fall 2025 only - students who wish to Peer Teach in Spring 2026 will apply again in November.

Would you like to be considered for a TA position, a peer teacher position, or both? Note that you can only hold one position.
