Non-Academic Employment
Employment in a non-academic role at the university, or out in the community, is an option for many graduate students. The University of Texas offers these resources to help you secure a job. Students are encouraged to check their department web page. Many departments list links to employment opportunities for their students.
Note that employment at UT Austin, academic or nonacademic, must conform to the 20/30 hour limit. See Conditions for Employment. Human resource services provides further information about eligibility, requirements and benefits for students employed in nonacademic positions.
