The Lumen Christi Institute seeks part-time student workers to help with events and other tasks related to our mission to make the Catholic intellectual tradition a vital part of the secular university and the broader culture.
The Lumen Christi Institute was founded at the University of Chicago in 1997, inspired by a vision articulated by Catholic scholars at the university. The Institute engages the university community in dialogue about the Catholic intellectual tradition through lectures, conferences, seminars, reading groups, and non-credit courses led by both renowned scholars and students. Lumen Christi’s work has inspired the establishment of similar organizations across the country. In 2022, the Institute established the In Lumine Network, a consortium of Catholic institutes at non-Catholic colleges and universities. Its programming also serves the wider Chicago community through in-person events and has grown a national audience through its online programs.
Previous student workers have come from diverse religious backgrounds (including no religious background). Many have benefited from the collegial environment of a small non-profit, which offers ample opportunities to engage in a range of activities with an academic focus and occasions for intellectual leisure while supporting academic programming.
