Things to know before applying to an ECEE student job:

  • Applying for an ECEE position does not guarantee employment. There are a limited number of available positions each semester.Ìý
  • Hiring priority will be given to students who have successfully taken the course they are applying for, or have successfully completed an equivalent course at another institution. This is both to ensure knowledge of the topic, but also to avoid potential future conflicts of students needing to take these courses to fulfill their degree requirements. If you do not disclose your prior course experience accurately, any offers of employment may be rescinded.
  • If you apply for multiple positions and are hired for more than one, you must disclose this information to all other faculty who offer you a position. This is to ensureÌýno student is overwhelmed and that their hours worked are not restricted between multiple jobs. Failure to disclose this information may result in job offers being rescinded.
  • If you are hired as a Learning Assistant (LA, undergrad) or Graduate Learning Assistant (GLA, graduate student)Ìýfor a core undergraduate or graduate level course, you are required to complete a Canvas course training provided by the department. Failure to complete the training will result in your position being terminated and may affect your ability to be hired for future semesters.
