Hiring People

(other than PhD Students)

Please know, everyone who is on payroll at Northwestern University MUST have a social security number and complete an I-9 BEFORE they can begin work (PhD student follow different process managed by TGS). International students (undergrads and masters) must apply for a SSN through the Social Security office. This process may take some time, so do not ask anyone to begin working until this step is complete.

Research staff appointments (e.g. Postdoc, Research Staff, Visiting Research, etc.) Research and Visitor appointments are handled by the McCormick Customer Service Center. Prior to initiating a research staff or visitor appointment request, please confirm that you have office/desk space for your visitor. Once you have identified a candidate, please review the McCormick Customer Service Center website with information on how to initiate the process. All requests are sent to mccservice@northwestern.edu.

For more information about Research Staff appointment types, see the Office for Research.

  • Candidates for Research staff appointments typically have a PhD.

Staff, exempt and non-exempt (e.g. Research Technologists, Research Engineers, Lab Manager, etc.), contact Katie Winters.

Hosting a Visitor or Event

Contact Wynante Charles if you plan to host short-term visitors and would like them to have an office for meetings during their visit or a parking pass. Please give at least one week notice to make arrangements. For talks or other event support, complete the Event Request form. Check the CS Events page to help find an available day for your event. Be aware that other events may be in the planning stage and not publicly listed.

Poster Printing for Classes

Arrangement can be made to direct bill poster printing for your class. Contact Julia Blend with the following information 3 weeks prior to class events requiring group poster printing: 

  • An EXCEL spread sheet with the student’s first/ last names & NET ID#s.  (Please do not send a Google link- the NU Library requires an Excel spreadsheet attached to an e-mail)
  • The date of your poster event and the day that it is over

The Library will upload $50 in funds onto the student accounts and they can print posters from any NU Library.  The students will see their NUPrint balance as $50 higher than before, with the $50 in new funds in an account called "CompSci-Plotter". 

This service only includes the print jobs for this specific class.  Most print jobs will be around $30, so remaining funds on each account will be returned after the Library deactivates it.  Please ensure they do not use remaining funds for additional printing unassociated with the class after they print their posters.

You will be notified when your students can begin printing posters, once the funds are uploaded onto their Wildcards. Please tell your students not to wait until the last minute to print.  Library staff are not always available if there is an issue, and CS staff do not have the access to assist with poster printing.
