Applicant Resources

To apply for a job at Yale University, visit the Yale Talent Network (YTN). This platform enables you to search for job openings, get tailored job recommendations based on your interests, submit your applications, and create alerts for positions that match your preferences.

As a current Yale employee, you can review open positions by visiting the Internal Careers page on Yale Talent Network (YTN), where you will log in with your unique Yale employee credentials via CAS single sign-on.

A resume is not required to initially apply, but is highly recommended. Submitting a resume helps us better assess your qualifications, skills, and experiences, potentially expediting the review process. If not provided, further information may be requested later. A cover letter is encouraged and may be noted as required on some job postings.

Once you have applied and submitted your materials, your information becomes part of our system and is accessible to the Talent Acquisition team for consideration. While we encourage you to apply to any individual role that aligns with your interests and qualifications, your profile and materials may also be reviewed for other relevant opportunities within Yale.

There are many job opportunities available on Yale Talent Network (YTN), and you can complete individual applications for multiple roles if you meet the qualifications for each.

Yale encourages employees and community members to share opportunities with individuals who may be a strong fit.

Current Employees may submit referrals directly through their employee profile. By identifying and referring candidates within the system, employees help connect talented individuals to opportunities across the university. Referred candidates must still complete an application for the specific position to be considered.

External Community Members: If you are not a Yale employee, you can share jobs directly from any job listing page. Each posting includes options to share via email or social media, making it easy to connect colleagues, peers, and professional networks with opportunities at Yale.

Whether internal or external, referrals help expand our reach and strengthen our ability to attract exceptional talent to the Yale community.

In addition to job postings available on Yale Talent Network (YTN), residents of our New Haven community can access unique career pathways through the New Haven Hiring Initiative in partnership with New Haven Works, Local 34, Local 35, and the City of New Haven. Programs offer on-the-job training, apprenticeships, and skill development to prepare candidates for various opportunities.

Yes, Yale offers temporary opportunities throughout the year across a variety of departments. Hiring managers typically source and hire directly for these roles. Talent Acquisition can provide candidate referrals for Clerical & Technical (C&T) temporary positions through Interim Employment Pool, Yale Temporary Staffing Services, New Haven Works, and New Haven Hiring Initiative. TA does not provide referrals for Managerial & Professional (M&P) temporary positions, which remain manager-sourced.

You can view the rate of pay on the job posting. You can also review the University’s wage ranges, which provide broad salary bands for various job categories. For M&P roles, specific salary offers are determined by a candidate’s qualifications, experience, skills, and education in relation to the position requirements, along with the role’s grade profile and current internal and external market conditions. For bargaining unit roles, the hiring rate is determined in accordance with the provisions of the respective collective bargaining agreement.

Open opportunities are regularly added to the Yale Talent Network (YTN) to ensure we attract the best talent for each role. Check listings frequently and create job alerts to be notified as soon as positions become available that meet your interests.
