Graduate Student Opportunities

Graduate Writing Consultants

In Spring quarter, a call for applications will be emailed to all graduate students for a year-long job as a Writing Center graduate writing consultant. These are tuition-remitting positions comparable to a 50% TAship, for no more than 20 hours per week. Graduate Writing Consultants provide writing support for graduate students through one-on-one tutoring, with an opportunity for workshop and resource development, from Fall through Spring quarter (and, pending availability, the summer). We encourage applicants from any cultural, academic, or linguistic background. View this year’s call here.

Writing Center Admin Fellows

Graduate students interested in writing center administration, writing center research or assessment, and writing across the curriculum and/or writing in the disciplines initiatives may apply to become a Writing Center Admin Fellow for the academic year (and, pending availability, the summer). The fellows program allows for a flexible, project-based approach beginning at $2500/quarter for 10 project hours/week and scales up to $5000/quarter for 20 hours/week. This is not a tuition-remitting position and is not comparable to a 50% TAship.  View this year’s call here.
