It is highly recommended you apply for TA and Reader positions with other departments. You can look for position listings in Handshake and also can check individual departments' websites for more information on how to apply for TA and Reader positions with other departments. Our students have been hired in other departments -- math, physics, statistics, chemistry and design -- as well as various departments in the humanities and social sciences depending on that student's background.
