Work in Physics & Astronomy Department Next Year
The Physics & Astronomy Department relies heavily on our students to serve as laboratory assistants, graders, tutors, and technical assistants in support of our academic program. We strongly believe that such activities provide important benefits to you beyond the obvious monetary compensation. Seniors and recent grads will tell you that a lot of good solid learning occurs, and new insights develop. You can, and should, cite this experience in future employment or grad school applications, just as we will cite it in formulating supporting letters for you.
It is time to arrange these job positions for next year. All students who would like to work in the Department should fill out an application found here. Applications must be received by April 15, 2012.
