Human Resources: University Employment
Please do not email cover letters, resumes, and other application materials to the Office of Human Resources or to University employees. Generally, we only accept application materials submitted via up.hiretouch.com, unless an applicant needs a disability related accommodation or a particular posting specifically notes that application materials will be received via other methods.
Please refer to this Help Sheet for assistance with your application. All questions and inquiries regarding applications and/or open positions can be forwarded to the Human Resources team at hr@up.edu or (503) 943-8484. Email is preferred.
Offers of employment by the University are in in writing and signed by the head of the Office of Human Resources and the President, the Provost, or a Vice President. Any offers of employment that do not meet these requirements are not final and are contingent on final approval by Human Resources and receipt of a written offer of employment that meets the previously-stated requirements. A background investigation process is required before final hiring procedures can be completed for all faculty and staff positions. Any offers received before a background investigation is successfully completed are not final and are contingent on successful completion of a background investigation.
For those requiring a reasonable accommodation to apply: Applicants who have a disability and would like to request a reasonable accommodation regarding the application or hiring process should contact Human Resources (503) 943-8484.
