Teaching Assistant (TA) Positions
Teaching Assistant positions in Epidemiology are NOT open to first year students in most cases. Most TA positions are for only one quarter at a time, and many are only 10 housrs/week. Sometimes students have found a TA position, for which they are qualified, in another department at the UW.

• To be eligible to TA our one undergraduate class, TA’s must have completed UW courses EPI 512-513+.
• Usually TA’s must have performed well in the graduate class they wish to TA.
• If you have the skills, you may apply to TA in another department.
