Mountaineer Temps

Whether the need is for help during absences or during the search process, to cover peak or seasonal demands, or to staff a special project of limited duration, the University environment makes short-term employment needs virtually impossible to escape. To help, the WVU Mountaineer Temps Program was created. Program positions may be temporary (up to 9 months) or casual (up to 225 hours).

Those accepting temporary or casual positions are considered external applicants for regular vacancies and are ineligible for benefits. This program does offer the flexibility of temporary employment, which is attractive to many candidates.
