If You Want to Go Far, Come Here

As Highlanders, our staff members are a part of the world鈥檚 most prestigious public university system, conducting meaningful work that propels thoughts and ideas forward. Their dedication and enthusiasm have helped to lift us higher as both a university and community. We鈥檙e among the top 1.3% of universities worldwide, according to the Center for World University Rankings, and continue to be named the nation鈥檚 leader for social mobility by U.S. News. In 2023, we also became members of the Association of American Universities, or AAU, comprised of the country鈥檚 leading research universities.

At UC Riverside, we want all of our Highlanders to feel a sense of belonging, motivation, and sustainable progress. That鈥檚 why we make sure our staff members receive exceptional benefits, in addition to the intellectual and cultural advantages of being a member of the UC community. Here, work-life balance is a priority. And with access to our region鈥檚 diverse geography, from the desert to the coast, as well as Riverside鈥檚 vibrant cultural and recreational activities, it鈥檚 also attainable.

On campus, diversity equals vitality. Among our senior leadership, 50% are women, many are first-generation college graduates, and several were born outside of the United States. All lead to inspire, inviting and encouraging staff to create, innovate, and accelerate bold ideas for transformative change.
