GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS FOR
ENGLISH GRADUATE STUDENTS

The English Department of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin is now seeking candidates for three Graduate Teaching Assistantships. Students who commit to enrolling in 9 hours per semester are eligible to apply for a GTA award, which pays $9,000 per academic year, plus an out-of-state tuition waiver, if applicable. Pending budget, students may have a teaching assistantship up to four semesters including summers. Although the appointment is made for a full academic year, GTAs are subject to evaluation each semester. To be awarded a third semester of assistanship, a GTA must have completed at least 18 hours by the beginning of the third semester.

The English Department selects GTAs on the basis of academic record and experience. Qualified applicants must be accepted into the English graduate program on a regular or provisional status. (Please consult the current UTPB Graduate Catalog for admissions criteria.) During their employment, Graduate Teaching Assistants must maintain satisfactory progress toward their degree and a graduate GPA of at least 3.0.

Submit a letter of application detailing academic and career achievements and goals, two letters of recommendation and a writing sample to Professor Sophia Andres, Head of the English Graduate Program, Department of Humanities, University of Texas of the Permian Basin, 4901 East University Boulevard, Odessa, TX 79762-0001.
