Graduate student positions

Various positions and activities in the department are filled and organized by graduate student volunteers (see the list below). An open recruitment for these positions is usually done at the beginning of the academic year. If a position that you’re interested in is still open for the academic year, contact the Graduate Student Representative to see how you can get involved!
