Join the Professional Team!

The Housing and Residence Life department employs various Professional Staff positions. These positions range from student life to operations-based. In these roles, staff members have the opportunity to interact with students in order to assist their academic, professional, and personal development. These positions do not open on a set schedule, so be sure to check the hiring portal often. In February, NMU’s Housing and Residence Life staff participates in the Oshkosh Placement Exchange (OPE) to network and outsource placements for Resident Director positions. Please reach out to the Housing and Residence Life Office with any questions.
