Application Process

Your graduate program may have assistantship positions that you may be eligible to fill. Your first step to acquire an assistantship should be to contact your own graduate program to inform them of your interest in an assistantship.

To apply for an assistantship, go to
http://www.jmu.edu/humanresources/joblink.shtml
search for graduate assistantship positions, select the position you are interested in and complete and submit the application.

Assistantship departments contact applicants directly to set up interviews. If you are selected for an assistantship, the department draws up contract materials and forwards them to TGS. After you sign the contract and complete the tax forms, return them immediately to the assistantship department so information can be entered into the payroll system.

Questions concerning your assistantship should be made directly to the asistantship department.

TGS does not set a deadline for assistantship applications. However, some departments may have deadlines; and early submission is advised.
