The application for the Winter through Fall 2027 CRLT Graduate Student Instructional Consultant (GSIC) program is now OPEN. Applications will be accepted until 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) is recruiting Graduate Student Instructional Consultants (GSICs) for Winter 2027 - Fall 2027. 

 

Eligibility requirements: 

  • Graduate student on the Ann Arbor campus
  • Will have had at least 2 semesters of GSI teaching experience by the end of Fall 2026 semester. 
  • Must plan to be enrolled as graduate student during the Winter ‘27 and Fall ‘27 semesters
  • Available for part-time work as a GSIC during the Winter ‘27 and Fall ‘27 semesters. 

 

Desired Qualifications: 

  • demonstrated commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching
  • evidence of efforts to cultivate equitable and accessible teaching environments in which all students and instructors can succeed 

 

What is the GSIC Program? GSICs expand CRLT’s reach by consulting with peers (GSIs) across the U-M community, and in doing so, they gain practical experience in the field of educational development. We expect and support our GSICs to work effectively in settings of social and intellectual diversity and have familiarity with equity-focused teaching practices. GSICs receive initial and ongoing training from CRLT to fulfill the following responsibilities: 

  • Consult with GSIs to advance strategies for equity-focused teaching across the university
  • Consult with GSIs on a variety of teaching related topics (syllabus design, active learning, design of group work and in-class activities, etc.)
  • Consult with GSIs about feedback they receive from students
  • Provide feedback to GSIs and graduate students on their teaching philosophy statements
  • Conduct classroom observations and midterm student feedback sessions, and debrief this feedback with GSIs
  • Engage in training and professional development with other GSICs in a collaborative community of practice

 

The GSIC cohort will consist of approximately 20-25 graduate student consultants from a variety of disciplines across U-M. GSICs are currently compensated at $29.00 per hour. The scheduling of hours is fairly flexible balancing the availability of the GSICs and the needs of the Center. We estimate that each GSIC works 2-5 hours per week during the academic year.

 

To apply, please fill out the application form. Before you begin to fill out the form, you may preview the application (the preview link is also available when you click on the application link). The deadline for applications is Sunday, October 25 at 5:00 pm. Candidates will be selected for interviews to take place (remotely via Zoom) during November or early December. Hiring decisions will be communicated by the end of December. 

As part of the application, you will be asked to upload a C.V. or resume, including a list of courses taught.
