Information for Job Applicants

Thank you for expressing interest in applying for a position at the California Institute of Technology.   Please read the following information prior to applying for a job.  Positions at Caltech are arranged in job families/categories but you also have the ability to search by keywords, phrases, and job locations.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A JOB? 

Caltech uses an online applicant process.  We urge all candidates to use this electronic system.  You can apply for a job from any computer with Internet access.  If you do not have a computer with Internet access, Employment Services has computers specifically designated for online job applicants.  We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. 

When you apply for a job online you will receive a confirmation e-mail indicating that your application has been successfully submitted into the tracking system.  If you do not receive a confirmation page, please contact our office.  Please keep in mind the following:

1. Meeting the minimum qualifications for a particular position does not assure the applicant an interview.
    

2. While the acceptance of a resume does not obligate Caltech to employ you, we make every effort to process and refer your resume as quickly as possible in order for it to receive consideration by the appropriate hiring managers.

3. Positions are open until filled, unless otherwise stated.
    
4. You may apply for as many positions as you would like.
   
   
5. You may select more than one skill code by highlighting each code and using your control key.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION:

Once your application is received, Human Resources and the hiring department will review it.  You may hear from either the recruiter or hiring manager should they be interested in setting up an interview.  The most suitable candidates will be contacted to move forward in the process. Because each department has different hiring needs, the length of the hiring process will vary depending on the position.
