CATS is open for select spring 2017 Teaching Fellowships: https://apps2.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/cats
What is CATS?
CATS is a pilot tool graduate students use to submit their qualifications to become a Teaching Fellow in select courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences. During this pilot phase, only Teaching Fellowships in select courses in the departments below will be Open via CATS.
Pilot Departments include Government, History, History of Science, Sociology, Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and General Education courses taught by faculty in these departments. Select courses in all departments in the Humanities and Social Sciences are expected to participate in CATS beginning in fall 2017.
How do graduate students use CATS?
Students may browse those select courses using the tool. Students use CATS to present their qualifications to the pertaining academic department to express interest in available Teaching Fellow opportunities.
How do academic departments use CATS?
Academic departments select courses with Teaching Fellow opportunities that will be open to students via CATS. Administrators and faculty receive the qualifications submitted by students, review them, and select Teaching Fellows. The review and selection process takes place outside of CATS and varies by department. Administrators and faculty will communicate confirmation of selection for teaching appointments outside the CATS tool. Before using CATS, students should read carefully and understand policies and procedures as they apply to Teaching Fellows as outlined in the GSAS Handbook (Chapter VIII; Teaching Fellowships).
