Dr. Lowery:
I hope you are doing great. I am graduate student in the civil engineering department. I would like to know if there are any teaching assistant or tutoring or grading positions available with you. I am very good at both engineering Mechanics and Mechanics of materials, so I think I would be able to help out students better with those classes.
If you have any positions available, I would like to apply for the position and prove to be a successful candidate. Please find my attached resume. Can I meet with you and discuss it? Can you suggest a suitable time when I can meet you in person to discuss more about the position. I look forward to your reply.

Years ago, the professors did have some input into who was hired for TA and grader positions, but no longer. In most cases I think they are offered to graduate students from other universities that we are trying uproot to come continue their studies at A&M. You might go talk with some of the current TA’s who work in the old pi R square room on the first floor of DLOB and ask how they got hired.
Good luck,
