Staff members are a vital part of UC Merced’s vibrant community. Each person plays a significant role in supporting the university’s mission of teaching, research and public service.

UC Merced staff members have many wonderful opportunities to learn, grow and thrive, professionally and personally. The campus’s growth and emerging presence as a premiere research university and institution of excellence offer great opportunities for employees to manage and guide their careers.

Additionally, staff have an array of resources, benefits, tools, programs and facilities.
