Graduate Assistant Instructor information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a graduate assistant instructor?

To excel as a Graduate Assistant Instructor, you generally need a solid academic background in your field, enrollment in a graduate program, and strong subject matter expertise. Familiarity with learning management systems (such as Canvas or Blackboard), grading software, and presentation tools is typically required. Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills help you effectively teach, support students, and balance academic responsibilities. These competencies are vital to foster a productive learning environment and ensure both student and personal academic success.

What is a graduate assistant instructor?

Graduate Assistant Instructors (GAIs) are graduate students employed by a university to assist with teaching responsibilities. Their duties may include leading discussion sections, grading assignments, holding office hours, and sometimes teaching undergraduate courses independently. GAIs gain valuable teaching experience while pursuing their own graduate studies. The position often provides a stipend and may include tuition benefits, making it a popular option for graduate students seeking academic careers.

Required CredentialsGraduate degree or enrollment in a graduate programUndergraduate or graduate student status
Work EnvironmentAcademic settings, often with teaching responsibilitiesAssist in classroom activities, labs, or grading
Employer & Industry UsageUniversities, colleges, academic institutionsUniversities, colleges, academic institutions

Both roles involve supporting teaching activities within higher education. A Graduate Assistant Instructor typically holds or is pursuing a graduate degree and may have more responsibilities, including leading classes. A Teaching Assistant is usually a student assisting with instructional tasks. While both roles are common in academic settings, the Graduate Assistant Instructor often has a higher level of responsibility and requires graduate-level credentials.

What are some common challenges graduate assistant instructors face when balancing teaching duties with their own coursework or research?

Graduate Assistant Instructors often juggle multiple responsibilities such as leading classes, grading assignments, and preparing instructional materials, all while keeping up with their own graduate coursework or research. Time management and prioritization are key challenges, as it's essential to meet both teaching and academic deadlines. Clear communication with supervising faculty and effective planning can help maintain a healthy balance and reduce stress. Many universities also offer resources, such as teaching workshops and academic support services, to help graduate assistants manage these demands successfully.

Job description

Description
Faculty of the Moreau First-Year Seminar teach one section of FYS 10101. This one-credit seminar meets for 75 minutes once a week for the first ten weeks of the fall semester. The course is a component of the Core Curriculum of Notre Dame and is taken by all undergraduate first-year students.
The Moreau First-Year Seminar (FYS) syllabus (including readings and assignments) is common across all sections and provides students an opportunity to the nondisciplinary study and practice of living well. Faculty are charged to utilize the pre-designed course syllabus and framework to help students engage perennial questions about our identity as human persons, and our relationships with each other, the world, and God.
Inspired by Notre Dame's Catholic mission and a sacramental vision in which God is not only present in but working through persons and creation, the course embraces a pedagogy of encounter in which such questions are best pursued in community with others. Sections of FYS 10101 are capped at ~20 students. Faculty are charged to foster a sense of community both inside and outside of the classroom.
Each faculty member is paired with a Moreau Peer Leader, a reliable, informed, and relatable upper-class undergraduate student who serves as instructional support and as a catalyst in building a sense of genuine community.
More information about the Moreau First-Year Seminar can be found at moreaufirstyear.nd.edu.

  • Thoughtful and tactful planning and facilitation of weekly class sessions (one 75-minute class per week for 10 weeks of the fall semester.)
  • Weekly collaboration and preparation with the Moreau Peer Leader
  • Ongoing collaboration and development with fellow Moreau faculty instructors for the first ten weeks of the fall term (this includes bi-monthly lunches and community-building events.)
  • Regular interactions with students outside of the classroom
  • Timely assessment of student work and submission of student grades

Compensation
Faculty of the Moreau First-Year Seminar receive a $4,000 stipend to teach the one credit First-Year Seminar.

First-time instructors of the course also receive a $250 stipend in recognition of completing the training sessions in Spring 2025 and in August 2025 before the course begins.
Qualifications

Candidates must be able to inspire and facilitate small group discussions of texts from a variety of eras and fields and foster rich interactions between and among students both in the classroom and beyond.
