Why Hopkins

We’re America’s first research university.

Johns Hopkins was founded in 1876 on the principle that by pursuing big ideas and sharing what we learn with others, we make the world a better place. That’s been our goal, day after day, for more than 140 years. You can help us continue our tradition.

Every job matters.

All of our staffers–from administrative assistants and admissions counselors, to financial managers and medical office coordinators, to custodians, research analysts and security systems specialists, to name just a few–play a critical role in ensuring the success of our endeavors. You will too.

We make an impact.

Our talented, innovative people have the drive to make a difference, the desire to contribute to the operation of an internationally recognized university, and the commitment it takes to make the communities we serve–Baltimore, the nation, and the world–a better place. We hope you’ll join us–and help share the benefits of discovery with the world.

We contain multitudes.

Johns Hopkins is one of the oldest and largest private employers in Maryland. Here, you have access to unparalleled resources and knowledge, a vibrant and diverse community of colleagues, comprehensive benefits and unique education opportunities–and the ability to form and follow just about any career path you want.
