Departmental Opportunities
The Mathematics department will employ undergraduate students as Instructional Assistants in Reader positions only in 2026-27. Students interested in employment during the academic year should submit an application through a linked campaign (below). New campaigns are released when the new quarter's schedule goes live - we do not anticipate the possibility of any summer employment.
Applications for Fall 2026 for Readers should open in late June/early July - You will find the campaign below. Review for Fall will take place in September after new student enrollment — note that you may still apply after the posted deadline date and will receive consideration if positions are available. Continuing employees with good evaluations are given priority in (re)assignment. We will NOT be employing Tutors in Math for the 2026-27 academic year and do not plan to hire any undergraduate students for ASC@Math.
Readers (Fall 2026 TBA) Better known in Math as Graders, these student employees will work under the supervision of a course instructor or Teaching Assistant. They will evaluate course homework or quizzes and maintain an accurate and confidential record of student grades. Graders are also expected to communicate with professors/TAs on a regular basis to keep them aware of the workload and completion timelines and to give feedback on performance and assignments. Requirements for employment include current quarter enrollment, an overall GPA of 3.00 and a grade of ‘A’ in the course to be employed in (or higher level equivalent).
Neither Mathematics nor ASC@Math will hire any Tutors for 2026-27.
For more information about these positions, email Mathematics Director of Student Services Scott Rollans at srollans@ucsd.edu.
