Student Job Opportunities
The Physics and Computer Science Department hires undergraduate Laurier students as instructional assistants for physics and computer science laboratory sessions, as markers, and as proctors.
Although we primarily hire physics students and computer science students for senior courses, we frequently hire students from other departments for junior courses. Similarly, physics and computer science students should investigate the possibilities in other departments. For example, our students who are very strong in mathematics have taken advantage of both employed and volunteer positions with the Mathematics Assistance Centre.
Instructional Assistants
Instructional assistant and marking positions for both physics and computer science courses are available to senior Laurier students.
Students must:
- be at least a year 2 student
- be registered in a degree granting program (positions are not restricted to physics or computer science students)
- have a mark of A- or better in the course and its prerequisite courses
- have done well in the lab component of the course (IA positions)
Applicants are required to fill in the Instructional Assistant Application Form (Network login required). The form will ask you to select the courses you want to IA and/or mark and will require you to submit a resume (PDF, Word, HTML, or WordPerfect). By filling in and submitting the form, you give us permission to verify your grades in the courses you are applying for and the related prerequisite courses.
If you have questions regarding the positions or the process, please contact:

- Terry Sturtevant for physics courses
