Job description

Position Overview
This is a Teaching Assistant (TA) position which will assist faculty members with classes and courses, as well as assist with research and instrument development/assessment. This position may also cover classes or proctor exams.
This position is for the current semester only. Upon successful completion as a TA for the current semester, the student will be reconsidered for a subsequent semester(s).
Hours per Week
Up to 20 hours per week, Monday-Friday.
College/Department Overview
The mission of every member of the College of Liberal Arts is to challenge students to speak clearly, write well, appreciate difference, ask questions, act ethically, participate, value the past, engage the present, and create the future.
The Department of Political Science offers students the opportunity to "shadow" city managers and receive firsthand, real-world experience in public administration.
Department Specific Job Functions
TA's assist faculty members in a variety of ways: cover classes or proctor exams; lecture in areas where the student is deemed competent; potentially tutor in classes which are in the student's discipline; assist faculty with class preparation (i.e., library research, internet searches, and PowerPoint presentations), record keeping, and supervised grading of exams and assignments; assist with group study sessions as needed; and other duties/responsibilities as deemed necessary or required.
Enrollment Requirements
Fall/Spring Semesters: All student employees must be enrolled at least half-time to be eligible to work any UCO student position. Half-time enrollment for fall/spring semesters is considered 5 hours for graduates and 6 hours for undergraduates. International students must be enrolled full-time to be eligible to work as a student employee. Full-time enrollment is 9 credit hours for graduates and 12 credit hours for undergraduates.
Summer Semester: Student employees working regular student positions must be enrolled in at least 3 credit hours to be eligible to work during the summer. Students not enrolled in summer classes must be enrolled in fall classes in order to work during the summer, but they (and the department) will be required to pay FICA taxes. Student employees working FWSP positions must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours (if undergraduate) or 5 credit hours (if graduate) in order to work during the summer in a Federal Work Study Program position.
Enrollment Exception: If the number of credit hours needed to graduate is less than the minimum number of hours required for student employment, the student must obtain a letter from their Academic Advisor (stating the number of hours needed to graduate and anticipated graduation date) and submit it to Human Resources. This pertains to both regular and Federal Work Study Program positions. Contact jobs@uco.edu for more information.
Qualifications/Experience Required
Must be enrolled as a graduate student in the MPA or MA-Political Science degree programs at the time of employment.
Physical Demands
Reasonable accommodation, in accordance with ADA requirements, may be made upon request to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
