Furman University Jobs

Answer 1

Like many four year universities, Furman University offers jobs in a variety of different areas. There are jobs in academics, jobs in the business office, jobs in the library, and even jobs for landscapers and janitors. Of course, the salary and educational requirement vary by job type.

Salaries of professors at Furman University depend on many factors, including how many years of experience they have, and what subject they teach. Full professors, who are professors who have gained tenure and often have a significant amount of experience, generally make between $90,000 to $95,000. Assistant professors, who are professors just starting their careers, generally are paid around $60,000. Professors with a bit more experience are often promoted to associate professors, who can make on average $69,000.

Not all employees in academics are full professors. Some people work only in research activities, or have a position that requires maintaining the university's many academic resources. Coordinators work in developing academic programs and classes, and many people work in clerical jobs, supporting the work of the academic staff.

There are Furman University jobs in student services, where employees work with students in a non-teaching role. These jobs range from people who are academic advisors, employees who work in recruiting students to the university, and employees who assist students in obtaining financial aid. There are also employees who work in student services who coordinate student organizations and events, and employees who work in the residence halls. Depending on the position, these jobs may require a high school diploma, a bachelors degree, or a graduate degree. They may also range in experience requirements from being an entry level job to requiring applicants to have many years of prior experience.

Of course, as a semi-sufficient small community, Furman University employees people who don't work with students on a regular basis. There are groundskeepers who work to beautify and maintain the university's outside spaces. There are system administrators and website developers who maintain the university's computer network and websites. Janitors maintain the buildings, and the dining halls employ many people who work in food services.
