Jobs & Research Opportunities

With a lighter class schedule and more one-on-one time with instructors, the summer session is a great time for students to seek internships, jobs and other career development opportunities.


Career Development Center and Resources

The University of Arkansas makes it easy for students to access career resources and find internships through its Career Development Center.  Students can view job fairs and events or visit the career studio for assistance.

On-Campus Employment

Students can find on-campus summer jobs in three easy ways.

  1. Log in to Handshake and search for jobs.
  2. Visit the University of Arkansas career opportunities page here and apply for job openings.
  3. Review on-campus departmental websites to see what jobs may be available for students. University Housing and University Recreation hire students during the summer. 

Research Opportunities

The  Office for Undergraduate Research provides summer research internships and research experiences for undergraduate students in many areas of study, including biomedical engineering, ecosystem services, mechanical engineering and physics. Additional research opportunities are available to students throughout the year. Learn more.
