REQUIREMENTS OF POSITION:Ìý This is a second-year required course in the Bachelor of Management program and it is important to set the tone at that stage in the students’ program.Ìý Therefore, preference will go to graduate students who have been teaching assistants or research assistants in environmental management, environmental studies, and natural resource management programs and classes. This course also has writing assignments, so TAs should have strong writing skills, be comfortable in evaluating student writing and providing constructive feedback on assignments. Previous experience with online learning environments like Blackboard will also be an asset.

Finally, part of the requirement is to present new material and lead discussions. As such, demonstrated capabilities to deliver content in a classroom setting (e.g. previous presentation/teaching/training experience) are assets. It is strongly recommended that applicants have some understanding of the issues associated with resource and environmental management.

If you are interested in the above position, please submit a letter and resume (2 pages maximum), by the application deadline to:
