MAC Positions and Opportunities
|
APPLICATION PROCESS:
- If you are interested in pursuing a tutoring position you must
download and read the
Tutor Applicaton Information.
Additional documentation such as your current schedule-of-classes,
transcripts, and letters of recommendation may be included with the
application, although these items are usually not required of the
applicant.
- If you are interested in pursuing a mentoring position you must
download and read the
Mentoring Application Packet. Additional documentation such as
your current schedule-of-classes and unofficial transcript are required
for mentoring applicants and must be included with the application.
- All others should download the
MAC Application. Additional documentation such as your current
schedule-of-classes, transcripts, and letters of recommendation may be
included with the application, although these items are usually not
required of the applicant.
- The forms must be completed in ink, and then handed to a receptionist
at the MAC (UC-102), or mailed to:
Mathematics Assistance Center,
Dept. of Mathematical Sciences, IUPUI
402 N. Blackford St., LD270
Indianapolis, IN 46202.
MAC POSITIONS/OPPORTUNITIES:
- The vast majority of the
opportunities at the MAC are available only to current IUPUI
students. These part-time positions/opportunities usually require
a commitment of five to twenty hours per week; there are no
full-time positions available. Tutor positions and mentor
positions are among the types most frequently offered at the MAC.
Applicants passing the interview and evaluation process must also
submit to a background security check before they are granted a
position at the MAC.
- Tutoring
Generally speaking, applicants for a tutor position should have
completed a full calculus sequence (e.g., IUPUI Math courses 163,
164, and 261); this amounts to at least 14 credit hours of
coursework including differential calculus, integral calculus,
and multi-variable calculus. Additional mathematics coursework
should be noted on the application form. Tutors are typically
paid an hourly rate ranging from $8.00 to $9.50 per hour.
- Mentoring
You may be eligible for a mentoring assignment even if you have
not completed a calculus course. However, mentoring assignments
are typically awarded only to undergraduate applicants who have
completed one or more of the following courses at IUPUI: Math
M001, 001, 110, 111, M118, M119, 153, 154, or 159. Completing a
similar course at another institution does not qualify a
candidate for a mentoring assignment. Mentors receive a
scholarship ($1800 - $2700) for their commitment and service over
the semester, and they are required to register for and complete
a special one credit hour course during each semester of service;
details of this course are not finalized as of 7/15/05 -- inquire
at the MAC for more details .
- Other
Other positions such as receptionist, supervisor, and specialist
(web and/or database programming) are less frequently available,
but applications for these positions are accepted at all times.
Applicants for the supervisor positions must have the ability to
oversee several tutors and mentors in action, must have a
demonstrated proficiency in mathematics or statistics,
and must be proficient in standard computer skills, such as typing.
Applicants for the receptionist positions should be eligible for
work-study funding.
DEADLINES:
- Employment and service opportunities for students
with varied backgrounds and interests arise throughout the
academic year at the MAC. However, most of the available
positions are filled before the beginning of the semester under
consideration, so applications should be submitted early.
Generally speaking, applications should be submitted before the
end of the preceding full-term semester; however, consideration
is given to applications arriving as late as the first full week
of class, if positions remain to be filled at that time.
