As a Brown employee, you matter. From career growth opportunities and workplace flexibility to our tuition reimbursement program, hear how Brown has impacted these staff members.
Brown University is a leading research university distinct for its student-centered learning and deep sense of purpose. Our students, faculty and staff are driven by the idea that their work will have an impact in the world.
A commitment to academic excellence, intellectual freedom and making an impact to better serve people, communities and society is at the center of everything we do. This commitment is brought to life each and every day by the work of faculty and staff across a wide range of Brown schools, departments, offices, centers, programs and initiatives.
For more than two and a half centuries, Brown has been deeply connected to the diverse and vibrant city of Providence — as a neighbor, employer and institution dedicated to a mission of education, research and service.
We are a community guided by shared values, unyielding dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a fundamental commitment to supporting one another.
Our faculty and staff are uncommonly driven by the idea that their work will have an impact — locally and throughout the world.
