Student Assistant Hiring Procedures
Section I. Definition
Under supervision, student assistants perform duties ranging from unskilled to skilled and/or
specialized in a variety of positions that typically require the use of manual, clerical, advising,
public contact, and/or analytical skills, and perform other related duties as required. The series
is characterized by the generally temporary nature of appointments, the general absence of
continuing responsibility for the work performed, and the diversity of duties that may be
assigned.
The work for which the student is employed is unrelated to the educational objectives of the
student's degree program, so the student is unlikely to participate in the production of papers,
theses, dissertations, or academic presentations related to the research and/or the student is
not expected to play a collaborative role in research production, but is supporting the research
by doing routine tasks, such as preparing bibliographies, inputting data, or supervising other
students who are performing such tasks.
