Graduate Assistantships
The Division of Student Affairs along with several other administrative offices on campus hire a number of graduate students each year to serve as Graduate Assistants (GAs). Below is a list of offices which are funded to support Graduate Assistants (only some of these positions represent openings in a given academic year). Select each link for a detailed description of the positions, benefits, selection criteria, etc. We encourage you to contact the supervisors for positions that interest you in order to learn more.
In addition to traditional 20-hour graduate assistantships, Residence Life offers several positions for graduate students: Community Director, Resident Assistant at the Graduate Complex, and Head Resident. While these positions are not assistantships, remuneration includes room rent and a stipend. Please visit the Residence Life employment page for more information (initial application deadline TBD). Please note: Students may not hold both a Residence Life position and an assistantship without approval from Residence Life, the School of Education and Human Resources.
All offices with GA vacancies for 2023-24 will interview admitted higher education program candidates virtually on February 27, 2023. Please note that all position descriptions and compensation packages below are held over from the 2022-23 academic year and are under review in anticipation of the next hiring cycle. We hope prospective higher education candidates will make plans to talk with hiring supervisors about the opportunities available for the coming year!
