The number of working hours is individually set in a dialogue with the responsible teacher and director of studies. Since the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is a joint department the employment can be placed at the University of Gothenburg or the Chalmers University of Technology. We only accept applications in the manner described in the advertisement.  We are aware that the course schedule for autumn is not yet published at the time of this advertisement and that it may therefore be difficult to determine if you can work as a teaching assistant in a specific course without causing your own studies to suffer due to conflicting schedules.
