Equivalent education/experience may be substituted for all of the requirements except when there are legal requirements, such as license/certification/registration.

Desired Qualifications:
Software development skills are strongly desired. Experience with mathematical document preparation, including LaTeX, and experience with mathematical software are helpful.

Conditions of Employment:
Willingness to occasionally work outside regular hours to ensure continuous system operation.

Application Process:
The application process for UW positions may include completion of a variety of online assessments to obtain additional information that will be used in the evaluation process.  These assessments may include Work Authorization, Cover Letter and/or others.  Any assessments that you need to complete will appear on your screen as soon as you select “Apply to this position”. Once you begin an assessment, it must be completed at that time; if you do not complete the assessment you will be prompted to do so the next time you access your “My Jobs” page.
