The Environmental Studies 2024-2025 Readership pool is now open. A Reader renders diverse services as a 'course assistant,' which will normally include the grading of student papers and examinations. A Reader will not be given the responsibilities of a Teaching Assistant. Before submitting a Readership Inquiry by emailing es-staff@es.ucsb.edu, please read the following guidelines: 

• By submitting this form, you will be added to a pool of students who are interested in a readership with Environmental Studies.
• You must be a registered student in the quarter for which you are applying enrolled in a minimum of 8 units.
• ENST readerships typically are not offered at 25% or more during the academic quarter and as such graduate students will NOT qualify for partial fee remission or payment of student health insurance with a readership alone.
• Graduate students must receive approval from the home department. 
• A graduate student who holds a teaching assistant position may also be eligible for dual employment with a readership, dependent on home department approval. 
• You understand that by submitting this form, you are not guaranteed a Readership position in Environmental Studies.
