JSIS Career Services for Graduate Students

What we do:

Below is a list of services the Office of Career Services at the Jackson School provides for JSIS graduate students:

• Post current job and internship announcements via our weekly newsletter
• Provide individual advising appointments
• Maintain a website, career resource page and document library
• Plan career-related programming
• Connect students and alumni via the JSIS LinkedIn group
• Collaborate with the UW Career Center  in campus-wide career-related events

Who we serve:

The office was established to serve Jackson School undergraduate majors, graduate students, and alumni.

Students in a concurrent degree program are encouraged to utilize both JSIS resources and those through the career office of their professional school.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide advising appointments to students not currently enrolled in the school, but you are welcome to use resources posted on the website.

How to Schedule an Appointment:

Drop-in hours at Career Services are generally Mondays 9-11am and Thursdays 2-4pm. Individual advising appointments must be scheduled in advance. Please visit the Career Advising web page for more information.

Policies:

• JSIS Career Services shares information with the Jackson School community for career-and internationally-related opportunities and programs.
• Posting an opportunity or link does not imply an endorsement or recommendation of a particular program, opportunity, project, or event.
• All specific questions regarding listings should be directed to the contact person identified on that entry.

Where do our graduates work?

Jackson School graduates work in the public, private and nonprofit sectors both within the United States and abroad. Similar to the multidisciplinary approach found in our programs of study, JSIS alumni work in a diversity of fields ranging from education to human rights, the environment, development, foreign policy and peace and security. Additionally, many our alumni work in positions where they are able to apply their area studies knowledge and language skills.
