Job Description

Teaching Assistants (TAs) for the Simons Computational Neuroscience Imbizo will be responsible for running one afternoon tutorial in the first week of the school, which they design themselves. Each TA will teach a different topic, chosen among themselves, to provide students with a broad exposure to problems and methods in computational neuroscience. Each TA is also assigned 5 students to supervise for project work during the last 2 weeks of the school. TAs will be asked to help process student applications and are integral in helping run the school, fostering good social interactions and academic discussions among students, helping 'shy' students meet faculty, and acting as 'social glue' to support students who may be feeling ill, not fitting in socially, or generally having difficulties. TAs need to be at all school meals and activities.
