As our 11,000 faculty and staff know, the University of Maryland, College Park, is a diverse and vibrant community and a very special place to work. Founded in 1856, we are the flagship campus in the state of Maryland. Our designation as an employer of choice in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan region is for good reason: our staff compensation plans provide for market-based salaries, and eligible employees earn generous leave and other benefits including tuition remission to promote personal and professional development of the employee and their dependents. Our talented and dedicated staff are highly motivated to deliver on the promises inherent in the university's teaching, research, and service missions, and our employees know that our strong tradition of shared governance facilitates the open sharing of ideas. As if that weren't enough, the academic programs, cultural and athletic events that our employees enjoy are practically endless ... and did we mention that our campus is just beautiful?

University Human Resources

To support the institution's mission, UHR is committed to providing a strategic framework that includes information, programs, and consultation services that empower administrators, staff and faculty to do what they do best in meeting their organizational objectives. Essential to this is UHR's commitment to:
  • Focus on people to promote a campus culture that values all employees.
  • Facilitate open communication.
  • Offer competitive, market-based compensation and a comprehensive benefits package to university employees.
  • Promote a learning environment for campus staff by providing professional and personal development, training, and continuing education.
  • Recognize and reward performance and accomplishments utilizing the Performance Reward and Development (PRD) process.
  • Maximize resources by utilizing technology to its fullest extent to improve efficiency, effectiveness, HR transaction processing, and overall service.
With Maryland's stature as one of the nation's premier public research universities, there has never been a better time to be part of this great university. Cheer the Turtle!
