Graduate Student Appointments

The History Department offers Teaching Assistant (TA) and Graduate Part-Time Instructor (GPTI) positions to our graduate students. TA and GPTI positions are considered graduate student teaching appointments so the compensation, benefits, and responsibilities differ from that of regular employees. These positions are part of the departmental funding opportunities offered to current and new incoming graduate students. Students must be enrolled in or recently admitted to the Department to be eligible for one of these positions. We occasionally hire graduate stduents from outside of the History Department. 

For more information about compensation and benefits for TA and GPTI appointments, please visit the Graduate School website.
