Employment and Career Opportunities

It's no surprise to us that so many employers recruit from our network. We receive numerous postings for internships, jobs, and fellowships each semester. Additionally, we have periodic opportunities for student employees, research assistants, and graduate teaching assistants in our department. Check out your options below!

Teaching Assistantships

The Political Science Department has multiple quarter-time聽Teaching Assistantships available for the Spring 2025聽semester. Duties of a Teaching Assistant include leading discussion sections, grading, and advising students. The compensation is $3,981.00 per semester. The job involves about 6 hours per week and should not be attempted by those holding full-time employment. Applicants must have a 3.5 GPA or better and be a regular graduate student enrolled during the entire term聽of their appointment.聽

Guidelines of the CU Denver Political Science Department are as follows:

While graduate students in related programs (e.g., MH/MSS) are eligible to apply, first consideration will be given to graduate students in the聽Political Science Program. When the department receives more applications than positions available, preference may also be granted to more advanced graduate students.
Unless otherwise indicated in writing, assistantships are for one semester. Good performance in the current semester may lead to reappointment in the following semester, however, priority may be given to students who have not previously served in order to provide teaching experience for all PSCI graduate students who wish to serve as Teaching Assistants.
The CU Denver Political Science Department is committed to high quality teaching and research, equal opportunity, and affirmative action.
