Join the Jimmie family and make a difference in the lives of students

You don’t have to be a student to be a Jimmie. We consider our faculty and staff a main part of what makes UJ so great. If you’re interested in working towards our mission and students development, both in and out of the classroom, then we’re interested in you!

Why work at UJ?

We strive to offer our employees a diverse work environment that values service, leadership, personal well-being, and professional development. Our faculty and staff know our students. They work with them in the classroom, cheer them on at games, and are in the audience at their performances. Our employees truly make a lasting difference in their lives.

Work-life balance is real here.

At UJ, we value your worth as an employee, and as a person. That means we work hard to meet our goals and help each student develop into the person they are meant to be. And we also go home at the end of the day.

The Jimmie family

When you work at UJ, you don’t just join a team, you join a family. And that’s not a cliché here. It’s a perk of working at a small University that values every member of our community. We even have a Caring Fund, which is financial assistance reserved for staff or faculty suffering a hardship.

Great benefits

We offer a well-rounded benefit package that includes:

Health, dental and vision coverage available
Long-term disability insurance
Paid holidays and vacation
Retirement contributions
Tuition waiver for spouse and dependents
Free admission to all university athletic and fine arts events
