If you are talking about eventually getting a PhD in math, many PhD students get offers to be teaching assistants.The department would make this offer when they decide to accept you. Some professors have grant money to hire research assistants. You can learn about their research projects on their website. Professors prefer to hire students who have similar research interests. Ideally they hire people they know or students who come with good recommendations. I don’t know about the job situation for masters students in math, but I assume there would be lots of TA jobs at colleges where there isn’t a PhD program.

If you haven’t started college yet, it seems a little early to be so curious about how to find these PhD student research assistant jobs.
