Our work makes campus feel like home.
Sound interesting? Maybe we'd make a good team!
We don't just work here - we live here too. Join the live-in residential education team to be up close and personal with students through their time on campus. From student and graduate roles to professional and even faculty opportunities, we're looking for enthusiastic, student-serving people from all walks of life.
Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs) are full-time, live-in professional staff members who lead residential communities and are responsible for creating safe, engaging, and supportive living environments for students. They supervise and mentor student staff, including RAs and graduate staff, while overseeing daily operations, student conduct, crisis response, and community development. RLCs collaborate across campus partners to support student well-being, manage residential facilities, and implement departmental priorities that enhance the overall student experience.
Graduate Residence Coordinators (GRCs) are live-in graduate students who support the residential experience for OU students by helping create safe, engaging, and supportive communities. Working closely with professional staff, GRCs supervise and mentor student staff, respond to student needs and crises, and contribute to programming, conduct, and community development. With opportunities to specialize in areas such as conduct, student leadership, or housing operations, GRCs play a key role in shaping the overall residential experience while gaining hands-on professional development in higher education.
More information about the Graduate Residence Coordinator selection process for Fall 2026 will be shared soon.
Resident Advisors (RAs) are student leaders who live in the residence halls and help create a welcoming, supportive environment where students can feel at home and succeed. They get to know residents personally, connect them with campus resources, and support their academic and personal goals. RAs also plan community-building programs, have regular one-on-one conversations with students, and work closely with Residence Life staff to help ensure students feel safe, included, and supported throughout their time on campus.

Faculty in Residence are faculty members who live in the residence halls and help connect students’ academic and out-of-classroom experiences by fostering intellectual engagement, curiosity, and academic success within the residential community. They build relationships with students through informal interactions, programs, and conversations that bring learning into everyday residential life, while also serving as accessible academic role models and resources for students navigating their college experience. Faculty in Residence collaborate closely with Residence Life staff to create a vibrant living-learning environment that supports student growth both inside and outside the classroom.
