The University of Michigan’s Career page lists available Graduate Student Assistant (GSA) opportunities. Most doctoral graduate students will come into the Marsal School with graduate student instructor (GSI), graduate student research assistant (GSRA), and graduate student staff assistant (GSSA) appointments. Please contact your program administrator if you have questions about your specific appointment.

Master's students in CSHPE should participate in the CSHPE spring placement for internships. These internships are paid experiential opportunities for 10-20 hours per week that students pursue while taking a full course load. For this reason, we do not recommend that CSHPE master's students pursue an additional part-time job at the start of their graduate program.

Also, students may get involved on campus by joining a Rackham graduate student organization or one of over a thousand other student organizations on campus.
