Grad Student Work Experience Program - GradSWEP

As per institutional guidelines, students must be currently located in Canada in order to work with Memorial University, including all MUCEP/ISWEP/GradSWEP jobs.
Winter 2024 GradSWEP jobs will be advertised from January 5 at 5 p.m. to January 12 at 12 noon. Jobs are often re-posted, so keep checking My MUNlife for any on-campus job opportunities.
The Graduate Student Work Experience Program (GradSWEP) provides Memorial's graduate students with the opportunity to participate in 75-hour job placements, paid at the prevailing graduate student rate.

Placements provide relevant career experience in the student's area of study, connect the student with a community organization for all or part of their hours worked. Students are overseen by a Memorial faculty or staff supervisor.

Details:
  • Positions are open to currently registered full-time graduate students.
  • Positions are for 75 hours and are paid at the prevailing graduate student rate. Students must submit hours on a weekly basis to their employer or the employing department.
  • Students may hold a maximum of 2 GradSWEP positions in a semester.
  • They may also hold a GradSWEP in conjunction with other forms of university funding (e.g., TA or RA), as long as their combined hours worked per week do not exceed the maximum allowable as defined by the School of Graduate Studies (currently 24 hours per week).
