Application Process

The university provides an online job search and application process for regular, non-academic employment as well as for our in-house temporary service, UTemps.

If you are looking for an academic position, visit the Faculty Recruitment website or directly contact a college or academic unit.

Completing your Application

Dependent upon your affiliation with the university you will need to take different steps to apply for jobs.

Current employees and contingent workers MUST apply through the internal job posting site within Workday. Simply type “Find UT Jobs” into the search bar to navigate to the list of open jobs.

If you are a current employee or contingent worker and you apply through the external site, the Hiring Manager/Recruiter will NOT be able to move your application forward. Instead, your application will be canceled and you will be asked to reapply through the internal job posting site.

Former employees, former contingent workers and individuals who have never worked for the university will apply through the external job posting site. Here are the steps to create your candidate profile in Workday.

  1. Apply > Click orange “Apply” button
