Appointments are typically made for a semester, commencing in the second week of August 2026 and concluding in December 2026. Renewal for another semester may be considered based on performance. The position offers a competitive salary package. Ashoka University also aids in securing accommodation near the campus. TFs are hired on a contractual basis and are not permanent employees.

Teaching Assistant Position
A Teaching Assistant is typically a student in their 3rd or 4th UG year (a rising 3rd year at the earliest), and typically earns 2 credits for their Teaching Assistantship. TAs have fewer responsibilities than TFs and are not required to teach Discussion Sessions; they typically support the instructor with activities such as the distribution of materials, the grading of quizzes (with answer keys), taking attendance or class communication. Like TFs, TAs may be expected to attend all the classes. No TAship credit can count towards Minor or Concentration credits.
The Teaching Assistantship (TAship) selection process for the Environmental Studies department is facilitated in collaboration with the student representative. At the beginning of each semester, a Google Form is circulated by the Environmental Studies representative, allowing students to indicate their TAship preferences. The submitted preferences are then reviewed and shortlisted by faculty members. Selected students are subsequently informed and required to apply for the TAship on AMS. Final approval is granted by the respective faculty members overseeing the courses for which the students have been selected.
