Biomedical Sciences Cluster Curriculum - TAships

image

Teaching is an indispensable part of the training program, for several reasons:

1. The best way to learn a subject is to teach it to others.
2. The ability to teach is a critical part of a career in academic research.
3. It will be an essential tool of trade for those of our graduates who pursue science teaching or science communications careers (e.g. museum or news media work).


All graduate students in the Biological Sciences Division are required to complete two teaching assistantships in two different quarterly courses.  Students may TA an undergraduate course, graduate level course or a medical school course.  The Division also sponsors a TA Training Course that may satisfy one of the TA course requirements.  TA opportunities and details can be found on the BSD's Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs Teaching Opportunities website.  Students must contact the course directors to make arrangements for each TAship.
