  • First of all, here's a great summary by the UA Grad College of how to read an RFP document, which can be non-trivial your first (or nth) time around.


TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS @ OSU

  • 20-25 TAs are needed each semester in the Department of Microbiology, with 4 being sent to the Department of Biology. Microbiology 4000, Basic Microbiology, is the largest course and is taught every semester, so quite a few TAs will be assigned to that class.
  • For information on TA calls, contact Program Coordinator Staci Schweinfurth (schweinfurth.22@osu.edu) for more information.
