International Student Employment at the Institute
International students must follow certain guidelines mapped out in their VISA paperwork and noted by Heidi Michel, Advisor- Partners Office for International Office for Students, Scholars, & Staff.
Positions are available for students at the Institute called Graduate or Research Assistantships (GAs) They are work opportunities which may include research that allow students to earn a small stipend. Students may work up to 20 hours per week total (may be divided between two Assistantships) and 40 hours during school vacations. Please check with Heidi Michel for exceptions when a student is doing Curricular Practical training.
International students may apply for a graduate assistant position with any program/department at the Institute. They may also seek temporary employment at three area clinical affiliates, MGH, Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Spaulding Hospital. Due to US visa and licensure restrictions, international students may not be employed outside of the MGH Institute and these specific affiliate sites.
International students are eligible to be hired as Graduate Assistants upon matriculation.
