Welcome to the University of Cambridge's Job Opportunities pages. Here you can view our current vacancies and those of many Cambridge colleges and affiliated institutions. You can also find all of the information you need about working for one of the world's oldest and most successful universities.
We have four staff groups at the University:

Academic

Our academic-related and assistant staff groups are made up of professional, technical, manual and administrative roles.
When searching for a vacancy, we encourage you to look across our staff groups as the types of opportunities you are seeking may be found in different categories. For example:

Roles which include teaching responsibilities may be academic or academic-related.
Roles which include providing some administrative support to research activity may be assistant or research.

The University also has its own Temporary Employment Service which provides temporary assignments throughout the University (https://www.hr.admin.cam.ac.uk/hr-services/tes)
You can also search for opportunities available within the 31 independent and autonomous colleges which form part of the collegiate University, as well as institutions closely affiliated with the University, such as Cambridge Assessment. Colleges and affiliated institutions are separate employers from the University of Cambridge and offer their own terms and conditions of employment.
The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity.

How to apply

All applicants to the University of Cambridge must submit an application to UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) by the relevant application deadline. Once you’ve submitted your UCAS application, you’ll receive an email from us directing you to complete the Supplementary Application Questionnaire (SAQ) – please check your email (junk/spam folder as well as inbox) regularly during this time.
In addition to a UCAS application, students applying from outside the European Union (EU), and/or who wish to be considered for an Organ scholarship or an Overseas interview must submit a Cambridge Online Preliminary Application (COPA). Once you have submitted a COPA, you’ll receive a COPA reference number, which you should enter on the SAQ.
You may be required to submit academic transcripts for your application to the University of Cambridge to be valid. To determine whether you are required to submit transcripts, please see our transcripts page.
For your application to be valid, all required documents must reach us by the relevant deadline. Please check the application timetable for international students for further details.

Interviews

Everyone with a realistic chance of being offered a place is invited to attend an interview. A reasonable standard in spoken English is required at the time of interview. See English language requirements for details. Information on why we interview, what to expect and how to prepare can be found on our main interviews pages. The Cambridge Colleges also conducts a number of interviews overseas – see overseas interviews for details.

Admission assessments

Most applicants are required to take a subject-specific written admission assessment, either pre-interview or at interview. In addition, some Colleges ask applicants for some courses to submit examples of their written work – one or two school/college essays – which may then be discussed at interview. You can find more information on the Admissions assessments page.

Decisions

We'll advise you of our decision before the end of January. If you're offered a place, you'll be informed by the College and through UCAS – you must reply, observing UCAS requirements and deadlines.
