We expect students to work a minimum of 15 hours per week. In addition, DGR prefers students who will be at UNM or CNM for at least one more year before graduation. A large portion of a new students work involves training that is provided by DGR staff and other students. It usually takes several months before a student becomes familar with the computing facilities DGR uses and the nature of the data in the projects that are being conducted.
DGR is an applied research and public service organization at UNM and not an academic department. We do not have graduate student assistantships (GA, RA, and PA, etc.) like those available in the academic departments. Our student employment positions are mostly for undergraduate students who will be available to work for a year or more. Students can earn internship credit (available from certain academic departments). Graduate students without significant work experience will usually be hired in the same student employment positions as undergraduates. Graduate students that have significant experience can apply for the on-call staff positions that will be posted by UNM's Department of Human Resources ( click here for job openings).
