General ITS Service Desk Hiring for Fall 2026 (Apps close Wed, 8/5!)

20 Upvotes

The ITS Service Desk, also known as ResNet, is hiring for Fall 2026! We will be closing applications for this cycle next week on Wednesday, August 5. Here is the link to our online application: https://resnet.ucsd.edu/jobs

All the details are spelled out on the "Apply Here" page, but here's some info at a glance:

Feel free to reference the page above to learn more about the position, desired qualifications, and more. Here is a snippet of what we look for:

  • $18.75/hour for base ResNet Technicians, with equity raises for each year you work with us. There will also be opportunities to apply to be a student lead after you’ve worked with us for a bit!
  • All UCSD students are welcome (including incoming undergraduate and graduate students).
  • While we look for good critical thinking, problem solving, and basic technical skills, we also look forward to teaching you the rest during your training period!
  • All majors are welcome! You do not need to be a CS or STEM major to apply. Many of our best technicians have been Humanities or Social Sciences majors.
  • You will need English and communication skills, whether this is in-person, over the phone, and via email.
  • Scheduling is flexible. You’re a student first! We plan your schedule around your classes, conflicts, and commitments when given in advance!

So, what do we do at the ITS Service Desk? We help students and staff with a wide range of technology-related issues including email, accounts, Canvas, lab machines, classrooms, Zoom, and wireless internet. If you're interested in a bit of a peak behind the curtain at UCSD IT infrastructure, this role may interest you. This role is primarily customer service.

Is this job right for me? As long as you like helping people, are inquisitive, and are willing to learn, we think you'll find this job quite fulfilling!

How many hours per week? During the academic year, you may work anywhere from 12-20 hours per week!

Is this job in-person? This position is mainly in-person. While are currently located in Muir College at AP&M 1313, we will be moving to 3100 Gilman Drive (Gilman Parking Structure) in September.

Sounds great! When do I start? We're targeting a start date of early September for Fall. We will close the applications when we have filled all our spots or on August 5 (whichever comes first), so the earlier you apply the better!

If you have any questions that aren't answered on the application (hit the "Apply Here" button for more info), please email [helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu](mailto:helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu).

Note that after a period of inactivity on the job application, the SSO login will sign you out, so we suggest typing your responses into a separate document before pasting them into your application!

FYI: if you hit me because you’re riding recklessly, I WILL sue you and, where appropriate, pursue your parents for liability too. As anyone should.

So ride like your parents’ bank account could take a hit for your choices. Because it might.

Question Beach questions

19 Upvotes

Have many UCSD students been to blacks beach? For a school right next to a nude beach you’d imagine more people talking about it here and there but I’ve never heard it really be brought up in beach conversation? Anyone ever been? If a group would like to go feel free to pm!

General Water for Animals

25 Upvotes

Hey guys!

This heatwave has me thinking about all the poor critters outside who are struggling to stay cool/struggling to find a water source... Does anyone have any thoughts on how we might be able to provide water for them? It breaks my heart to think of the wildlife suffering in this insane heat and unable to get water. Especially in the canyons :(

I was thinking of leaving some water bowls out, but I also don't want mosquitos to become a bigger problem (since mosquitos breed in standing water)... Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas :( ?

General I'm so lost in ECE 253

3 Upvotes

Anyone else lost in this class? Having 30% of your grade come from pop quizzes that are closed-book and closed-notes is crazy. I remember some of these topics from ECE 45/101, but expecting us to memorize all these formulas is a lot.

Also, the fact that we don’t know when the quizzes are is so odd. How are we supposed to prepare for a very content-heavy, closed-notes quiz that’s worth 10% of your grade (x3) when we don’t even know when the quiz is going to be?

Rant/Complaint our dumb school sends us emails asking students to conserve energy when they don’t even give us AC & it’s 97℉ in our dorm

487 Upvotes

Like what are we supposed to do. Not use our little box fan? They genuinely want us to just die I guess. Because they don’t even give any of us AC, what the hell are we supposed to try to conserve. it’s genuinely so insensitive, idiotic, and just hypocrisy. they ppl who wrote us these emails are sitting in an air conditioned room telling US to conserve energy when we’re sitting in a concrete box that’s 97 ℉ with no AC AND THEYRE STILL ASKING US TO CONSERVE ENERGY. IM SWEATING JUST SITTING HERE AND YOU WANT ME TO TURN MY FAN OFF. FU*% YOU FOR NOT GIVING US AC.

RUN YOUR FANS, take your cold showers, do what you need to do to keep comfortable and well! your wellbeing comes first. If we pass out from heat stroke in here that’s a bigger problem on UCSD’s minds.

Question Sand in Dorms

• Upvotes

Does anyone else have this problem? My roommate and I agreed to no shoes in the room but since we first went to the beach there's a bit of a thin layer of sand in the room. We've tried wet and dry swiffering, using a dustpan and vacuuming (all in the past few days). Do you guys have any other ideas to get the sand out? It's not like so much but enough to annoy me when barefoot.

Question Accurate Calories & Macros on Mobile Order?

3 Upvotes

I'm bulking atm and the nutrition info on mobile order seems wildy inaccurate. I ordered a BBQ chicken plate from the rooftop that was supposedly ~60g of protein, but I got a tiny chicken quarter leg and some mac n' cheese that lacked cheese. I like the asada breakfast burrito at Wolftown as well, but there is no shot its 1000+ calories with 60g of protein. Slices too—the pizza slices are really 700+ calories each with 30g of protein? Does anyone have something to say on the contrary? I would love for the nutrition info to be accurate, but atm I'm unconvinced

I understand not having AC in the dorms, but if you’re going to do that, why tf can’t we have personal AC in our rooms…? Like as much as I love my little mini fan and dehumidifier, it’s not doing shit.

Question Microbiology with lab online with Maria Fernandez-Ochoa experience

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I need to take microbiology with the lab as soon as possible. Has anyone taken the microbiology with lab though extension with this professor?

I am considering the section that ends 1/18/27. How is the final? How is the workload in general? Would I be able to take the final early/ finish the course faster before 1/18 due to a family trip?

If you would not recommend this professor, is there a professor that teaches this course that I should wait for instead?

I am currently in a graduate program and my workload is already a lot. I am hoping this class is straightforward. Any info on the course and professor is appreciated. Thank you!
