ATTENTION: GRADUATE and PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS
TEACHING ASSISTANT POSITIONS AVAILABLE
COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH PROFESSIONS
Fall 2011 Bachelor of Health Science Program
Application Deadline is May 6, 2011
The Bachelor of Health Science Program is currently hiring graduate teaching assistants
for the Fall, 2011 semester. Teaching assistants will facilitate their own labs in
Therapeutic Communication Skills and lead several course activities in Leadership Skills
and Styles, thus gaining hands-on teaching experience under faculty supervision
throughout the semester. Instructors in several other health science courses (i.e., U.S.
Health Care System, Human Development I, and Survey of Diseases and Disability) will
also need teaching assistants to help with general course management, such as assisting
with organizing course material and guest lecturers, developing and grading assignments
and exams, posting and tracking assignments on the course web site, conducting library
searches, and responding to student inquiries. All positions require the assistant to attend
all course-related meetings as part of their position, including, but not limited to, all
assigned lectures, labs, review sessions, and supervision meetings.
If you are a graduate or professional student in good standing in the College of Public
Health and Health Professions and are interested in applying for one of these positions,
please submit your completed application to Katie Sharp via e-mail esharp@phhp.ufl.edu
or in person (Dean’s Office, HPNP 4113) by May 6, 2011. A completed application form
includes the Cover Sheet, statement on teaching experience and interest, and BHS Course
Preferences sheet. All forms are included below. Deadline for the receipt of your
application is May 6, 2011.
Preference will be given to students who can cover more than one section or course so
please make sure you rank order all of your coverage possibilities on your application.
Courses with labs offer multiple sections so clearly state the lab times you can cover.
For your reference, the Bachelor of Health Science Program Fall, 2011 schedules for
juniors and seniors are posted on the BHS web site
http://bahealthsci.phhp.ufl.edu/currentstudents/schedule.htm. Although these are schedule
drafts until the Fall term begins, we anticipate very little, if any, change to this schedule.
We assume that if you list a course or courses on your application, you can definitely
serve as a teaching assistant for any and all times listed. Do not list a course for which
you may have a conflict or are unsure you can cover. By applying for a position, you
are agreeing to be available to TA at the times assigned to you from the course times
you list on your TA application.
This position pays a minimum of $12 per hour. Most full-time students will be selected to
receive a waiver based on their assignment and qualifications. We will let you know after
assignments are made whether you have been selected to receive a waiver, which are
limited in number. Part-time students are eligible to apply to be an assistant but are not
eligible for the waiver. We anticipate the positions will require 6-24 hours per week
depending upon assignment.
