Campus Jobs

There are many student jobs available at the University of Minnesota. Please visit this UMN Human Resources site for additional information about student employment, including how to find online job postings.

Some campus positions are restricted to students with a Work Study designation. Only students with work-study funds can apply for these positions. Please contact One Stop if you have questions about Work Study.

Assistantships

Many SPH students use graduate assistantships to help finance their education, which provide pay and a number of benefits, including tuition and health insurance. These are campus working/learning positions that take the form of research, teaching or administrative appointments.

Student Positions

Student positions are sometimes available within the Minnesota government. Select “Intern/Student Worker” under Position Type.

It may be possible to use these positions to fulfill the internship requirement for many of the SPH programs. Also, several students have completed master’s degree projects related to their work with the Minnesota Department of Health.
