GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS
Ways to Find Graduate Assistantships:
Handshake: Some offices will post Graduate Assistant positions in Handshake. These postings are typically posted between May and September, for the upcoming academic year. New Graduate students that have accepted their offer of admission to Lehigh and have an “Active” student status (paid a deposit to attend Lehigh) will gain access to Handshake during the third week of May if they are starting classes in the Summer or Fall semesters. If they are starting classes in the Spring semester, they will gain access to Handshake in late December. If you have Handshake questions, please contact the Center for Career & Professional Development at careercenter@lehigh.edu.
Graduate Life Office: Some departments will inform the Graduate Education & Life Office that they are hiring a GA, RA, or TA. These postings will be advertised below (see GA Positions Posted by Department).
Faculty/Departments: Not all departments post their available positions on Handshake. Students are encouraged to reach out directly to Lehigh faculty or departments to inquire about open positions. For Teaching Assistantships (TA) and Research Assistantships (RA), often students will find these opportunities through faculty or departments.
