The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) recruits at various educational institutions to find students with skills to meet its current and future employment needs. Opportunities are available throughout ARS nationwide. Since many of our facilities are co-located with major universities, student employment provides opportunities for students to gain valuable experience related to their field of study or in other areas.
Student Hiring. For information on student employment opportunities within the Agricultural Research Service, please contact the location where you would like to work. Information on our research locations can be found on the ARS web site at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/pandp/locations.htm
