If you are an External Applicant Interested in Working at NYU:

With New York University's automated application system, PeopleAdmin, the process for applying for jobs is fast and efficient. All you need is access to the Internet.

From there, you can select which job(s) you are interested in applying for.
We do not accept faxed or e-mailed resumes.
You can visit our website from any computer with Internet access, including computers available to the public at local libraries and government work centers.
You have the opportunity to "cut and paste" your resume and cover letter or upload your resume into the system, while completing an Application for Employment.
Once you have completed the online application, you will receive a confirmation message. This verifies your application is now in the PeopleAdmin system.
Resumes of qualified applicants will become part of our general database for future consideration, and will enable us to review qualifications as positions become available.
If you are contacted by an Talent Management Office Representative or a hiring unit directly, you will be asked to sign the Application for Employment at the time of interview.
Please note that the application process is competitive. Applications are screened by the Talent Management Office staff as well as hiring units and only those applicants who appear to most closely fit the job requirements will be contacted for interviews. In the event you are not contacted, your resume will remain active for searches in our database for consideration for other job opportunities for one year.
In addition to interviews, further screening is conducted for some positions. This may include testing for knowledge of specific software packages or extensive background investigations depending on the type of position.
Should you encounter difficulty in accessing the PeopleAdmin system or should you require any further assistance, please contact our office via e-mail at hr-empinfo@nyu.edu.
