The Department of University Housing is recruiting for a full-time, twelve (12) month, live-in professional Residence Life Coordinator (RLC). The University Housing department houses 4,300 residents in suite-style high-rise towers, residence halls, and apartments. The fast-paced, dynamic department serves a unique student population in an urban setting.

RLCs will have opportunities to increase professional skills through leading academic initiatives and student learning opportunities, high conduct caseloads, supervision, and campus involvement.

Each RLC has the same core areas of their role, but will also get the opportunity to work with specialized residential communities within the halls based on specific building placement, such as work with Living Learning Communities, first-year students in high-rise towers, desk supervision and large-scale programming, upper-year students, and more based on your professional interests!

This position is a fixed-renewable non-teaching academic staff appointment with a competitive salary and benefits package. Starting salary for this appointment is at least $35,568 as well as a partially furnished apartment, meal plan, and designated parking space. The final salary offer is dependent upon the finalist’s experience and qualifications.
