UAF Employee Experience

Many UAF employees spend their lives doing meaningful work they love.

UAF employees play vital role in fostering a supportive learning environment and  a welcoming culture that fosters a sense of belonging and pride.

Whether employees work at the Troth Yeddha’ ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in Fairbanks, remotely, or at one of several community campuses and centers elsewhere in Alaska, all should feel welcome and understand how their contributions align with the university’s mission.

If you are new to the university, your department's  HR coordinator will guide you through the hiring process and onboarding paperwork. Our Employee Experience Team will help introduce and connect you to the broader university community. Explore the resources and share your feedback. 

We’re glad you’re here!
