Can I fax, mail or submit a hard copy of my resume?
We no longer accept hardcopy resumes.
All applications must be submitted through the job site http://jobs.ucsd.edu

How long are jobs posted on the UC San Diego Health System website?
The length of time a job is posted depends on several factors.  Is it an internal or external recruitment?  Does the applicant pool have a sufficient number of applicants and does it reflect the diverse population of the Medical Center?
Internal recruitments are posted for a minimum of 7 days and external recruitments are posted for a minimum of 14 days. 
If any recruitment does not have a reasonable number of qualified diverse candidates, then it may be left open with an extended deadline.  However, a hire for any recruitment can be made at any time after the original closing date even if the extended date has not been reached.

My application was referred.  When will I hear from the department?
There is no definite time period.  It depends on the needs of the department.

How can I get the name and contact information of the hiring manager?
This information is not released to applicants.
If you have been referred for a position and selected for an interview, the hiring manager will contact you.

What is meant by 49%, 60%, 90%, 100% position?
A 100% position is a full-time position equaling 40 hours per week. A 90% position equals 36 hours per week usually consisting of three 12 hour shifts in a seven day period. A 60% position equals 24 hours per week. Most positions at 49% or below are per diem positions and are not guaranteed any hours. A Per Diem position is one that supplements scheduling in a department on a pre-scheduled or on an as-needed basis as determined by the Medical Center.
