A Graduate Student Employee works for a faculty or staff member for a certain number of hours each week. GSE positions are paid at a rate of $20.00 per hour for up to 20 hours per week.  These positions are highly competitive, and applications are reviewed year-round.

Note: Applying for a Bloch School scholarship is NOT the same as applying for a GSE position. You must apply separately for each using different forms.

How to Apply

Only completed application packets will be considered. The application packet consists of:

1. A completed application (PDF)
2. Three letters of recommendation (PDF) Please determine three individuals with or for whom you have completed work that can comment on your ability and skills to complete the recommendation form. Copies from each recommender are need for a complete GSE Application. DO NOT submit recommendations from Bloch School faculty or staff. Recommendation forms must be from individuals who are not affiliated with the Bloch School.
3. A current resume
4. Video submission (see instructions PDF).
   Note: Applicants who are unable to submit a video due to technology limitations or other circumstances may request an interview by phone or in person.

Submit the completed packet to the contact information listed at the bottom of the application.

Application Deadlines

• For Fall GSE Positions – Apply by June 1
• For Spring GSE Positions – Apply by October 1 – CLOSED, we are not accepting new applications for Spring 2025
• Applications are not accepted for the summer term 

To be considered for a graduate student employee position, all application materials including resume and reference letters are required by the application deadline.

You will be required to reapply each semester (fall and spring semesters only). However, once you’ve submitted a complete application packet, you will only need to resubmit a reappointment renewal request form each semester you reapply.
