TC Employment Opportunities

TC offers you a variety of instructional positions, including teaching fellows, Writing Lab tutors, and Technical Communication Lab tutors.

Teaching Fellows

As an TC teaching fellow, you have the opportunity to teach courses in developmental, scientific, and technical writing. Based on your schedule and needs, you may teach one or two courses per semester; teaching two courses entitles you to full UNT Benefits and in-state tuition rates.

To be eligible for a teaching fellow, you need to meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Completed 18 hours of graduate level coursework. This does not apply to the teaching of TECM 1200.
  • Enrolled full-time (9 hours per semester) as a graduate student.
  • Must have passed with a "B" or better, or be enrolled in TECM 5550, a teaching methods course.

Writing Lab Tutors

The Writing Lab is housed in TC but caters to the needs of the entire university community. We welcome applicants from all types of writing and language backgrounds as well as both undergraduate and graduates. Lab tutors work a maximum of 20 hours per week, and you have the opportunity to tutor in conjunction with teaching one course.

You will need to call the Writing Lab staff at 940.565.2563 to schedule a time to take the application quiz and to set an appointment for an interview. You may email your completed application to writinglab@unt.edu.

Technical Communication Lab Tutors

The TC computer labs often need tutors who can help students learn the word processing and graphics applications used to produce technical and business documents. Tutors generally work 14-17 hours a week and their duties include demoing software tools to technical communication students, maintaining the labs and their equipment, and assisting instructors with their technological needs. As part of their job, all tutors attend an orientation every semester to keep their skills current.

To apply, email a resume to Brad Davis, TC lab director. Preference will be given to applicants who have taken TECM courses and have Adobe CS5 experience.
