Department of Anthropology -- GTA Positions for 2026-27

For the 2026-27 academic year, the Department of Anthropology is seeking applications from graduate teaching assistants for the courses that are listed in the tables below. These positions are available for graduate students who have received Graduate Teaching Assistant funding. All course positions are conditional pending projected enrollment.
Course descriptions may be accessed via the Undergraduate Calendar.

Note that the positions below are divided by campus - DUR (Durham campus, Oshawa), PTBO (Symons campus, Peterborough), or WEB (on-line).  In the first two cases, graduate teaching assistants are responsible for their own travel to the relevant campus.

Our application procedure differs a little from what the blanket e-mails from Administration may indicate. Please note the following:

1. Submit your application, in PDF format, to Dr. Eugène Morin (Chair) at anthjobs@trentu.ca, no later than August 1, 2026.
2. Include the following three documents with your application:
   a.    Cover letter, indicating 3 courses per term (Fall 2026 and Winter 2027) for which you are interested in being a GTA. For each course, explain your relevant training and/or background in that subject.
   i.    Among your course selections, include at least one of the first-year courses (ANTH 1001H, 1030H, or 1200H). Because the majority of the positions are in those three courses, it is likely that most GTAs will be assigned to at least one of them.
   ii.    Please note that certain courses are being offered on both campuses, with separate GTA positions for the Durham versus Peterborough locations. Also note that some Durham GTA positions are split across multiple courses. In your application, specify the campus on which you wish to teach each course for which you are applying. You may apply for the same course on both campuses, if you wish.
   b.    Undergraduate transcript of courses completed.
   c.    Curriculum vitae (CV).
3. While we try to match applicants with their preferred courses, there are inevitably some courses that receive too many applications, while others are undersubscribed. Be aware that, since the Department must ensure adequate staffing for all courses, we may ask some applicants to serve in a course for which they did not apply. If this happens to you, please treat it as a professional growth opportunity.
   4.    If you have any questions about this process or a specific course, please contact anthjobs@trentu.ca.
