Getting Hired at Vanderbilt University

Where do I start?

So you would like a job at Vandy? You have a couple of options to assist you with your job search. If you received a Federal Work Study (FWS) award as part of your financial aid package, you are eligible to use the FWS job listings available through HireADore. If you are only eligible to seek Institutional Employment, (no FWS award as part of your financial aid package) you may use the Institutional job listings available on HireADore. Depending upon the application instructions provided with each job, you should proceed accordingly.

Both FWS and IE applicants may also approach departments and/or professors for whom they are interested in working and discuss employment opportunities. If you are eligible for FWS funding, please be sure to share that information with a potential employer. It benefits you and your employer!

Regardless of how the position is acquired, you should always be able to provide documentation required to prove employment eligibility upon hire and should be asked by the hiring official to complete a W-4, I-9, Personal Information Form, and Personnel Action Form or FWS contract (as appropriate). If you are asked to start working, please ensure that these documents have been completed.

Good luck in your search!
