We begin recruiting Summer and Fall Physics GSI in March of the same year. We begin recruiting Spring Physics GSI in October of the preceding year. 3/21/2013 - WE WILL BE RECRUITING FALL 2013 PHYSICS GSIs SOON. Only registered Berkeley graduate students will be considered for Physics GSIs. CLICK (currently disabled) here for the Spring 2013 Physics GSI Application. Please add your last name in front of the application file name and email to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Non-physics graduate students: If you've never taught for the Physics Department, you must attach your undergraduate transcript (unofficial copy okay) with your Physics GSI Application. International students must provide proof that they've met the University's spoken English proficiency requirement. We will be accepting applications as long as there are GSI openings. Spring 2013 Physics GSI Orientation and Organizational Meetings will be on Wendesday, January 16, 2013 (beginning 10 AM). Physics GSIs will pick their teaching assignments at the organizational meetings. UCB Campus Wide Teaching Conference for First-time GSIs, begins on the Thursday, before Fall instructions begin and the Friday before Spring 2013 instructions begin. Click here for more information. Pre-registration will be required. First time GSIs must enroll in a 300 level GSI training course before or concurrently with their first semester of teaching at Berkeley. Physics 300 is only offered in the fall. CLICK here for Spring 2013 300 level GSI training at the GSI Teaching & Resource Center. First time GSIs teaching physics who cannot enroll in Physics 300 because of time conflicts may enroll in a 300 level GSI training course in a comparable department. Instructor permission mostly likely required. First time GSIs who did not take any 300 level GSI training course in the fall, must enroll in a 300 level GSI training course in another department in the spring in order to continue teaching. First time GSIs who did not complete a 300 level GSI training course during the first two semester of teaching are no longer qualified to teach (per University policy). GSI Resource Links: THE GRADUATE STUDENT INSTRUCTOR AND RESOURCE CENTER The GSI Teaching and Resource Center provides pedagogical support and guidance for GSIs. Programs include orientation conferences, noon-hour workshops, course improvement grants, teaching awards, confidential consultations, the Teaching Perspectives newsletter, and the Language Proficiency Program for GSIs who do not speak English as a native language. The Center also houses a library of books, articles, videos, and other reference materials on teaching.
