Graduate Employment

Graduate Employment

Graduate employee (GE) is the term used at the University of Oregon for teaching, research, and administrative graduate assistantships. GEs receive a monthly salary, full-time tuition waiver, mandatory fees subsidy, and subsidized health insurance premiums, including coverage for eligible dependents. Generally, there are two places to find out about GE opportunities: your department/program and the Division of Graduate Studies

All GE positions at the UO are union represented.

Types of GE Appointments

Instructor

Most positions in academic departments are teaching-related. Duties may include serving as a grader, a teaching assistant, a lab or discussion section leader, or sole instructor for a class.

Researcher

Research positions are offered by academic departments as well as UO’s many research centers and institutes.

Administrative

Administrative GEs primarily conduct administrative or office tasks outside of a classroom, clinical, or lab setting. Additionally, GEs who do not fall into the other classifications will be classified as administrative GEs. Duties can involve:

• Playing a leadership role with regard to a particular program
• Counseling or advising responsibilities (e.g., in Academic Advising or the Accessible Education Center)
• Performing a specialized role central to a particular function (e.g., communications, writing, editing, IT)

Mandatory GE Training

All new Graduate Employees (GE) must complete the required GE training. The GE training is available by logging into MyTrack, which is managed by UO Human Resources.
