TMUN 2027 Staff Application

TMUN Committee Staff Application
Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in a committee staff position at Toronto Model United Nations (TMUN).

Throughout this application portal, you will be asked to fill in basic and general information regarding yourself, along with a series of essay-based questions and other miscellaneous inputs and additional information.

Please keep in mind the word limit on the long-form answer portion of the application is only a maximum word count. It is not a recommendation or a requirement for how long your responses should be. So long as your responses are well crafted, length is mostly irrelevant.

Toward the end of the portal, you will be asked to submit your resume and a writing sample as a PDF file. All other document types will not be accepted.

To avoid loss of answer progress and for ease and convenience, we heavily suggest all applicants view then copy the long-form questions onto a separate document and complete their answers there prior to submitting them on this portal.

Following the submission of your application, you will be notified via email whether you have been selected for an interview.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us at cos@tmun.ca.

Best regards,

The TMUN Secretariat

Application Information
Director - Directors are responsible for facilitating and guiding debate in their respective committees. They must have a thorough understanding of their topics, prepare an extensive background guide to assist delegates in their research, and prepare crisis plans. Directors will need to ensure that delegates are following their foreign policies and be able to diversify debate. This role requires significantly more time commitment and strong writing skills.

Chair - Chairs are responsible for leading maintaining order throughout their respective committees. As such, they must have a thorough understanding of the Rules of Procedure and be able to provide clarifications regarding the debate procedure for inexperienced delegates. They must facilitate a welcoming committee environment for all delegates while ensuring that discussion remains on topic.

Assistant Director(Crisis Analyst) - This role is exclusive to crisis committees. For those unfamiliar with the term "Assistant Director," it is comparable to the role of Crisis Analyst at other conferences. In this role, you will be tasked with assisting your director in running an efficient crisis simulation and responding to private directives. Assistant Director applicants could be less experienced in MUN or less confident in their ability to staff a committee initially; rather responsible for shaping the real-time consequences of delegate actions and ensuring the crisis narrative moves forward smoothly.
