ECE Grader Employment
Grader jobs are now open for Spring 2025 ECE courses
Please complete application here:
ECE Graders work with professors and TAs to grade homework, assignments, projects, and answer student questions.
The best way to get hired as a grader is to do well in a class, approach the professor, and see if he/she wants to hire you as a grader. The second-best way is to get a general recommendation from a professor.
Mostly, the core ECE undergraduate courses with large enrollments will have available grader openings.
General Position Requirements:
*Must be a current M.S., or Ph.D. ECE major student who is actively enrolled in courses (i.e. incoming students who have not yet started their studies are not eligible)

*Must NOT be enrolled in the course you are applying to support in that semester.

Application process:
After applying, the review process will proceed on a rolling basis through the Drop/Add period of the semester. ECE is not able to provide updates on individual applications or positions available.

We recommend that students continue to seek out other employment opportunities as part of their overall position search, as ECE positions are very competitive and not guaranteed.
