Continued Call for Graduate Consultant Applications for 2025–2026

The Writing Studio is continuing to recruit graduate and professional students to join our staff of Graduate Writing Consultants for the 2025–2026 academic year. Please share with any students you believe may be interested!

Graduate Writing Consultants start at $15.50 per hour, set their own commitment of 5–15 hours per week, and benefit from paid training and ongoing professional development. Successful applicants will start in August 2025.

Given the centrality of writing to the life of the university, this role is a wonderful chance for graduate and professional students to hone their writing skills while also growing as educators, scholars, and researchers.

Full position and application details are available on the Writing Studio’s Graduate Writing Consultant Positions page.
