Department of Human Resources

Villanova University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages the recruitment and retention of qualified candidates for all positions.  As a federal contractor, Villanova University has an Affirmative Action Plan which is overseen by the University's Affirmative Action Officer in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.  The University encourages members of all diverse groups to seek employment with the University through the Human Resources Department.  Vacant positions are posted for seven (7) calendar days to afford internal candidates the opportunity for first consideration.  Positions not filled internally are then open to external candidates for application.

Notices of job openings are published in a variety of ways on campus: electronically on the Human Resources Bulletin Board; on the Human Resources Web site at www.hr.villanova.edu; and on various bulletin boards on campus.  Current job openings are also recorded on the University’s telephone job hotline, which may be reached by dialing 610-519-5900.  Those interested in applying for a posted position must send a letter of interest specifically designating the job for which they are applying, along with their resume to the Employment Coordinator in Human Resources or email same to hr@villanova.edu.
 
To qualify for transfer or promotion, you must have completed at least one year of service in your present position, and have a satisfactory work record.  However, there may be situations where this requirement would be waived with the approval of the employee’s supervisor and the Human Resources office.
 
Internal applicants should apply within the bidding period (7 days from the date of posting). This reflects the University’s intention to provide extra focus on internal applicants. However, there is no requirement that departments interview or select an internal candidate seeking transfer or promotion.
