Grader/TA Positions

The Economics Department provides graders/TAs for the following ECON course offerings as needed: 0150, 0155, 0207, 0210, 0211, 0212, 0229, 0250, 0255, 0260, 0265, and 0280. 

The economics grader/TA responsibilities may vary from one course to another. In general, graders could be tasked with any of the following responsibilities: grading problem sets, quizzes, review questions, and bonus material; reviewing grades for consistency; calculating scores; recording grades in Excel; alphabetizing papers.

Applicants must be organized, responsible, and dependable individuals, who are able to work with others as well as independently. A willingness to learn is essential, with an enthusiasm for the subject. Confidentiality is required and students will be required to sign a confidentiality statement.

Applicants must have completed the course they are applying to grade for with a grade of B+ or higher and have taken the course on Middlebury’s Vermont campus.

Applicants should apply prior to the beginning of each semester.

All students must reapply each fall (even if they worked the spring semester immediately prior) as the Student Employment Office purges applications from Workable each summer.

Students hired to grade in the fall wishing to continue from fall to spring need not reapply in the spring, however, they must email Amy Holbrook to notify her of their wish to be considered for the spring whether for the same same course and/or instructor. Rehires are not guaranteed.

The Economics Department strives to place all qualified applicants; however, it is not always possible.
