Why Work at UCSF?
What is it about UCSF that makes people want to work here? If your job happens to be on the Parnassus campus--and thousands are--it could be the proximity to Golden Gate Park or the running track at nearby Kezar Stadium, the shopping and restaurants in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, or the energy of a campus with 3,700 graduate students and thousands of visitors daily. If you happen to work at San Francisco General Hospital, UCSF/Mount Zion Medical Center, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Mission Center or Laurel Heights - all connected by the Parking & Transportation Department’s shuttle system - or any one of our 12 different sites around San Francisco, there are equally compelling, if distinct, reasons. No matter where your location, however, UCSF’s benefits and salary structure are the same - and extremely competitive. Moreover, with about 300 jobs available each day, many of them in technical and clerical areas, UCSF is an important community resource with a profound economic impact on the city and region.
After more than 130 years, UCSF also has a rich history, full of quixotic characters and singular achievements. Despite all the changes in the health care marketplace and funding cutbacks, UCSF has a very promising future as an academic institution and biomedical research colossus as well. There is a culture of opportunity at UCSF as well, one that nurtures employees and careers. More than 50 percent of our 15,130 employees have been at UCSF for more than 5 years. And 26 percent have been here at least a decade or more. We remain pledged to diversity in the workplace and to some clearly stated principles of community, too.
