Welcome! 

Thank you for your interest in employment with CTY On-Campus Summer Programs.

Application Helper: 

CTY has a very unique job application that aims to find the best job match for applicants. You will be able to select several position and site preferences. For instructional roles, you can select up to eight courses. Our recruiting team will evaluate your education, experience, and supporting documents against your preferences to ensure that you are being matched with a suitable role. To complete your application and be considered, please review the following: 

• Resume: Upload a current resume and provide information about your education and employment history. If you need to stop at any point to collect additional information, you may save your progress and resume your application at a later time.  

• Transcripts (Required for Instructional Roles ONLY): If you have not previously worked for CTY On-Campus Programs, you must also provide transcript(s) from all of your undergraduate and graduate institutions. Unofficial copies are acceptable. These may be uploaded along with your resume in the Documents section of your JHU Careers profile. 

• Licensure (Required for Nurses ONLY): Upload a copy of your current license in the Documents section of your JHU Careers profile. Licenses must be valid through dates of employment.

• Former CTY Staff: Candidates who have previously worked in CTY Summer Programs will be required to complete a full interview process if they express interest in a role not previously occupied. 

Timeline for Consideration: 

• Applications are considered on a rolling basis and candidates are placed shortly after they interview. For best consideration, apply as soon as possible. We plan to fill most positions by early April. 

• Because of the large volume of applications, it may take several weeks before you hear from us.

Additional Information

• The application asks you to list the zip code you will be travelling from during the summer.  This can be different from your regular address.  Please fill this out carefully as we will use this to determine the best site eligibility and to determine potential travel allowances.  Please read our travel policy carefully here.  Generally, staff are supported for air or train travel if they are assigned a residential location more than 300 miles from their home.  If a staff member elects to go to a site more than 300 miles from their home and there was a site open within 300 miles, they will not be eligible for travel.
• CTY hires a small number of staff members into flexible positions.  These staff members may be asked to switch sites (at CTY's expense) or have a flexible teaching, office, or residential assignment during the summer.  If you are interested in a flexible role, please indicate that when asked on the application.
• CTY is piloting Discovery Sampler courses for three age groups.  Instead of one course in three weeks, students will experience three courses.  Instructors of these courses will teach 3 cohorts of students for a week each during a session instead of 1 cohort for 3 weeks.  If you would like to learn more about these courses please visit: CTY Discovery Samplers Overview: Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (jhu.edu)
