How do I apply?

The UT Austin Job Application is the sole application process used to apply to any of the jobs listed on the UT Austin Job Search. These include Executive/Managerial, Professional Non-faculty, Technical, and Paraprofessional, Clerical, Skilled/Crafts, or Service/Maintenance titles.

Submit your online resume to departments electronically for EACH job vacancy based on a self-assessment and certification of your qualifications. You are responsible for providing any additional materials requested. Hiring supervisors will review the pool of applicants and the department will contact the competitive or best-qualified applicants.

IMPORTANT: The online process requires that you certify your experience and background. Failure to complete any part of the application accurately or in full may be considered falsification. Falsification may void your application and any actions based on it.

The University of Texas at Austin is a security sensitive environment and by submitting your Application you are giving UT permission to contact educational institutions, employers, and/or law enforcement agencies to verify your education, experience, or adult criminal conviction record.
