SFS Student Employment coordinates part-time and seasonal full-time job opportunities for MIT students. If you want to post a full-time year-round position or an internship, regardless of whether a degree is required, please visit the MIT Careers Office.
SFS Student Employment maintains a clearinghouse structure; we post positions submitted by internal and external employers on our web site, and interested students then contact the employers directly. This process ensures an open market for our opportunities. Only members of the MIT community have access to the online job listings.
We reserve the right to refuse to list positions. We take no responsibility for screening applicants in any way. The employer accepts full responsibility for any agreements made between employer and prospective employees.
All on-campus work is subject to the MIT minimum wage of $9.00 per hour. Off-campus work is not subject to this restriction. We offer listings of wage ranges for a wide variety of student job types.
Students may only work 40 hours per week at any job or a combination of jobs at MIT. Any hours exceeding this limit must be paid at time and a half. For example, the employer for which a student works the 41st hour of the week must pay him or her time and a half for that hour. The employer for which the student works the 42nd hour of the week must pay him or her time and a half for that hour, etc.
SFS Student Employment requires all the requested job posting information for office records; however, if you wish to have a specific piece of information omitted from the public listing, you may specify this on the web form. Any missing information will result in your listing not being posted. If you have questions, e-mail seo-www@mit.edu or call 617-253-4971.
Before you go to our online job listing form, have the following information ready:
If you are an MIT employer, students must meet the following requirements before you can hire them.
MIT employers must fill out the electronic Student Personnel Action Form (eSPAF) to hire a student. The form is also required to change student pay rates or terminate a student. After students start working, they fill out electronic timecards on WebSIS. SFS offers instructions and trouble-shooting tips for using the eSPAF. Students may not begin working until the eSPAF is completed.

Anyone who wants to work at MIT must complete an I-9 form and submit it (in person) in Room 11-320. When you have the right documentation with you, it takes very little time. And it needs to be done only once, as long as you don't take a semester off.
