CDC On-Campus Job Listings
After logging in (or registering for the first time and then logging in) click on “Jobs/Internships”, then “Jobs for Stanford Students and Alumni”. You will then see a variety of search criteria. In “Position Type” pull down menu, select, “Stanford On-Campus Job”. Here you will find a selection of on-campus positions.

Various Departments
Think about departments or places on-campus you would like to work. Go to those departments and talk to someone to see if they have any jobs available. Look on department websites, read over faculty bios and contact a faculty member directly asking if they need a research assistant.
