Assistantships

At Rider University, we have a limited number of Graduate Assistantships available to students who are interested in gaining valuable experience working on campus.  These jobs provide an excellent opportunity to engage in meaningful work, allow you to make contacts both on and off campus, while enabling you to defray the cost of your graduate work.  We encourage you to research the available positions. 

A standard assistantship position will require you to work for no more than 20 hours per week on campus, for which you will receive an hourly wage.  Some of the available positions may have flexibility for non-traditional hours.  Each semester, you will be required to complete a new assistantship agreement contract to be handled within each individual department.  In addition, your compensation will include up to six credit hours of coursework that will be subsidized by the department that employs you.  Please refer to the job descriptions for any variation on compensation.  

To facilitate your search for an available Graduate Assistantship, all open positions are now listed on the Broncs Career Link search site.  Please note there are a limited number of assistantships available, so we encourage you to apply as soon as you find a position of interest.  To access graduate assistantship opportunities at Rider, visit Student Employment.
