In this blog, you will find multiple resources for job opportunities in and outside CUNY. They are mostly advertised within the CUNY system, and therefore are good for international students as well. Check the following job listings regularly and get ready for the new school year.
1. Research Foundation, CUNY
Research Foundation is a private non-profit organization that mainly assists CUNY faculty and staff in managing their funded projects. If you go to Research Foundation Careers, you will find a multitude of job opportunities posted directly by project directors, which are classified into six broad categories:
- Administrative Services
- Clerical/Office Services
- Information Technology
- Instruction and Social Service
- Managerial and Professional
- Research
Within each category, there are potentially both full-time and part-time job openings with specific deadlines and many of which reveal a detailed salary range. Once you find a nice job opportunity that you like, just click “APPLY NOW” and you are ready to go.

3. Miscellaneous
Do you know that the four job search engines listed above are also good for part-time job search? Yes, they are! Just type in “part-time jobs” plus a location and you will be amazed by the large number of opportunities out there. For a general introduction to the three websites, here is a blog for your information.
Lastly, don’t forget the importance of networking and word-of-mouth when looking for part-time opportunities. Many interesting part-time opportunities out there are not widely advertised. So, when you look for part-time work, don’t neglect to let people (faculty, professional contacts, consequential strangers) know you’re looking.
