We hire OAs on an ongoing basis. When we have a position available, we post it on the Baylor Student Employment page. If you are interested in being on our list of potential OAs when a position does become available, please email us at CWE@baylor.edu, and we will add you to our list.

Graduate Consultant Positions 

Division of Graduate Writing

The Division of Graduate Writing employs doctoral students from across the disciplines, with preference given to students with publication experience who are past exams/ABD. With the approval of your GPD, graduate consultants can work 6 to 8 hours with the DGW, or more as long as they do not exceed 28 hours/week of work for Baylor.

As we have a small staff, we have limited position availability and usually put out calls in the spring. If you are interested in working with us, email CWE@baylor.edu for more information about the application process and hiring deadlines. The process involves submitting a CV, writing sample, and letter of recommendation from your advisor or GPD before participating in an interview.

Division of Undergraduate Writing

We employ graduate consultants from across the disciplines to work with both undergraduate and graduate students on their writing. We accept both master's and doctoral students. If you have a 20-hour per week assistantship, you can work up to 8 hours. If you do not have an assistantship, you can work up to 20 hours. Pay is competitive. 

Hiring for graduate consultants in the Division of Undergraduate Writing usually happens at the end of the semester for the next academic semester or year. If you are interested in working in the CWE as a graduate consultant, please send us an email at CWE@baylor.edu expressing your interest and qualifications. We will add you to a list to make sure you receive the email when we begin the hiring process.
