On-Campus Employment Resources

Offices and departments across campus have student hourly positions - some of which are open to all students and some of which are open only to graduate students. There may also be Graduate Assistant (GA) opportunities within units such as the Spencer Museum of Art, Biodiversity Institute and other student service and administrative offices. These GA positions are salaried and are not to be confused with departmental GRA/GTA/GA positions. Explore these opportunities under student positions on the KU Employment website.
