Urban and Community Studies
At the Urban and Community Studies Program we receive job postings from agencies and organizations seeking to hire individuals with certain academic backgrounds to fill vacancies. These positions are not always widely posted on the internet or in print. On this page you will find a listing of job opportunities that we believe may be of interest to you. We encourage you to visit and bookmark this page to assist you with your job search.
We also encourage our alumni to join us when we sponsor events in the community. This is a wonderful opportunity not only to lend a hand but to learn more about the agencies and programs in the area. By taking part in these events you may make valuable contacts in the community that could lead to future employment or civic engagement opportunities. Please visit our home page for UCS sponsored events.
(Alumni of the program who are aware of employment or internship opportunities that may be of interest to our majors are encouraged to forward job postings from their employer to maria.winnick@uconn.edu.)
