The PACA position is full time, and generally runs from mid June to the end of July.

If you like creative tasks, work that keeps you on your feet, team collaboration, and working with young people, this may be the position for you!

Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistants (TAs) assist faculty in the classroom during our pre-college programs. Each TA works for a specific program, and often (though not always) the program aligns with the TA’s major or academic interests. TAs work 40 hours per week, with employment dates generally spanning the month of July.

If you like tutoring, educational studies, working with high schoolers, or guided research, this may be the position for you! To find out what programs need TAs, visit our 2024 programs page.
