The hourly wage is $11.50/hour; however, actual pay depends amount of work performed and submitted which is, in part, a function of the number of students in the class. Graders must meet expectations of the course Instructor of Record, which include grading and returning assignments in a timely manner. Graders must attend an orientation meeting at the beginning of each semester of employment. b) MathLab Facilitators: Interested applicants for MathLab facilitator positions should review the Math Lab Employment Policies taking note of the staffing assignment priority list for the MathLab positions. 2. Although applying for more than one position is possible, the UNT Dept. of Mathematics seeks to distribute available positions to qualified applicants in a fair and equitable manner. Applicants should not expect to receive more than one type of job assignment. 3. Student employees are limited to work assignments of a maximum 20 hours per week. 4. Qualified applicants will receive an assignment based on the needs of the department, their qualifications, position s availability, and their schedule availability. 5. Job requirements for these positions are, first and foremost, dependability and strong sense of responsibility. 6. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Reference letters must be submitted for the application to be considered. Only professional letters of reference are accepted (previous employers, previous math professors, etc). Reference letters from personal friends or family members are not considered professional and therefore not accepted. a. Electronic reference letters may be sent directly to the MathLab Director by at mathlab@unt.edu or by mail: University of North Texas, Dept. of Mathematics 1155 Union Circle P.O Box Denton, TX Applicants must be enrolled as a student of UNT for the semester of application and employment.
