Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA): Guides and Resources for Hiring Students
In order to start the process, you must create a Student Job Requisition in Workday– GRA funds cannot be added to an existing student assistant position. The instructions for doing this can be accessed here. It is important to follow the instructions exactly as written– failure to do so will cause errors in the process and delay the timeline for recruiting and hiring a student.
An example of a GRA job description can be viewed here.
After you create your requisition, there will be several follow-up steps in Workday which you will be prompted to complete via email. It is important to follow up on these steps– otherwise, your job listing cannot be posted.
Once the listing is posted, your student candidate (if you have identified) must apply for the position on Workday. From there, please follow the steps outlined in the referenced guides:
