Student Employment
The Department of Theatre typically hires new student workers at the beginning of each academic year. We offer a variety of production and administrative positions, including jobs in the scene and costume shops, design studio, and office/administrative work.
We are particularly interested in students with the following skills and interests:
- carpentry
- sewing
- stage lighting
- painting
- handling audio-visual equipment
- computer graphics
- website design
- typing and office work
- publicity
- box office
- house and stage management
Compensation
We start new student workers at a higher rate than the minimum required; students re-hired in successive years automatically receive raises.
Work Schedules
Hours range from 4-8 per week between 10 AM and 6 PM weekdays, plus opportunities for optional extra work based on the needs of the current production. A minimum regular weekly commitment is expected.
How to Apply
Beyond Barnard advises students on pursuing roles on campus. The Office of Human Resources manages the administration of Campus Roles. Administrative questions from students about job postings, payroll or timesheet questions, and more can be addressed to peopleexperience@barnard.edu.
Columbia College, GS, and SEAS students are eligible for jobs with the Theatre Department but must apply directly by email to theatre@barnard.edu. Please include "student employment" in the subject line and attach a letter of interest and resume to your email.
