Eastman Student Positions

JobLink includes jobs in various departments and affiliated organizations. However, sometimes departments don’t always post open positions and rely more on word of mouth or drop-ins. If you are interested in a position at Eastman, feel free to inquire by visiting or emailing departments and offices. The most common positions at Eastman include:

      • Ushers – The Eastman Concert Office employs a staff of approximately 80 ushers to work on stage in Kilbourn Hall and the Eastman Theatre.
      • Residential Life Assistants – Some positions are available each year in the Eastman Student Living Center. Typically these jobs are filled in the Spring semester for the summer and the following academic year. You can also inquire in person at the Residential Life office in the Eastman Student Living Center.
      • Music Librarians – The Sibley Music Library and the Ensemble Library are open throughout the school year and during the summer, with opportunities for employment during both sessions. This is valuable work experience for the inquisitive musician.
      • Dining Services Staff – Jobs are available in the Eastman Student Living Center with Dining Services. In addition to Blackboard, you can also inquire in person at the Dining Services office in the SLC or call 585-274-1340.
