Many graduate students work part-time to help support their education. Student positions are paid an hourly rate and students may work up to 20 hours per week. Student positions range from administrative to research assistant opportunities within the Department of Public Health Sciences, but opportunities are also available throughout the University of Miami. Teaching assistant positions are paid a stipend each semester and professors select their teaching assistants based on an applicants’ course performance.
Positions are announced to all students as opportunities become available, and students can search for student employment opportunities on JobX. For more information, please visit the Office of Student Employment or contact Megan Garber, Associate Director of Career Services and the student employment liaison for the Department of Public Health Sciences.
We offer funding to support students in their research, capstone and thesis experiences, and international public health projects through Public Health Travel Awards and Capstone or Thesis Project Awards.
