Nevada System of Higher Education careers
1 verified opening
Eight institutions answer to one Board of Regents in Nevada: the universities at Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada State University, four community colleges (College of Southern Nevada, Great Basin, Truckee Meadows, and Western Nevada), and the Desert Research Institute. Reno is the elder, founded in 1874 as Nevada's land-grant institution under the Morrill Act of 1862; Las Vegas opened in 1957. DRI, founded in 1959, runs more than 300 projects on all seven continents with over 400 employees and research campuses in Reno and Las Vegas. System Administration keeps offices in both cities.
Jobs belong to the campuses, not to the system name. Two research universities, a state university, four community colleges, and a research institute each hire their own faculty, staff, and student workers, and DRI's payroll leans toward researchers and technicians rather than teaching faculty.
