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.
