Graduate Student Instructor and Graduate Student Staff Assistant Positions

Each year, MSW students are employed by other U-M departments and offices on campus in GSI or GSSA positions. While the School of Social Work does not typically hire GSSAs, sometimes students are able to work their GSSA positions in the School of Social Work (ex. Rackham Graduate School may fund GSSAs to work in the School of Social Work Diversity Equity and Inclusion Office). Please visit the U-M Careers at the U website for a listing of graduate student appointments throughout the University.

Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) positions at the School of Social Work are not available to MSW students.
