Jobs at University Of Washington

As one of the most innovative universities in the world, we hire people who constantly seek new ways to keep us moving forward. Our reputation of advancing diversity, improving sustainability, and conducting ground-breaking medical research is built by employees who are driven to become a part of something greater than themselves.

Since our founding in 1861, the University of Washington has been a hub for learning, innovation, problem solving and community building. Driven by a mission to serve the greater good, our students, faculty and staff tackle today’s most pressing challenges with courage and creativity, making a difference across Washington state — and around the world.

Race and equity

The Race & Equity Initiative challenges all of us — students, faculty, staff and University leadership — to take personal responsibility for addressing our own biases and improving our University culture. Together we commit to combating racism and inequities, both individual and institutional, that persist here and throughout our society.

Population health

Because we believe that healthier communities make healthier people, our Population Health Initiative sets out a 25-year vision for improving environmental resilience, social and economic equity, and the health of people here in Washington and around the globe. Under this initiative, the UW community and partners come together in interdisciplinary collaboration to address the intersecting and overlapping factors that influence health.

Innovation

The University of Washington’s Innovation Imperative Initiative empowers students and researchers to learn, discover and build solutions to tomorrow’s challenges. We are ranked as the #1 undergraduate school in the West for entrepreneurship, and CoMotion, the UW’s collaborative innovation hub, has helped launch 258 companies since 1990.
