Are university jobs only for faculty?

No. Universities hire nurses, analysts, facilities staff, recruiters, and administrators as well as instructors.

What if the campus is outside Philadelphia?

Treat the campus city as the job location. A Philadelphia mailing address can still mean a suburban site.

How to target jobs in Philadelphia

Pennsylvania

Philadelphia is often described through its hospitals and universities, and that is a useful way to read the job market. Pharma and the offices around those campuses hire too. A posting that says the city still needs a campus, a function, and a credential check.

This page does not estimate salaries or how many jobs are open. Those figures go stale, and there is no source for them here.

Hospitals and universities

Academic medical centers and universities hire clinicians, researchers, technicians, and a large staff of administrators. Job titles can be internal and specific. Use their title when you have held that work, and do not upgrade a coordinator role into a director title.

Pharma and related labs

Drug makers and lab employers hire scientists, quality staff, and operators. Regulated-environment experience is worth naming when you have it: documentation, batch work, audits you supported. Do not claim a regulation you have only heard of.

The offices around them

Finance, insurance, and professional services still hire in the city. Those resumes should read like office professions, not like a clinical resume with a few spreadsheet words added.

The kinds of employers

Health systems, universities, pharma campuses, city agencies, and professional-service offices. Some roles are union or civil-service. Read the hiring path; a city application is not the same form as a private one.

How to aim an application

Say whether you can work in the city, on a suburban campus, or both. New Jersey and Delaware sites sometimes appear in a Philadelphia search. Only include them if you will go. For clinical jobs, the Pennsylvania license is the one to show when that is what you hold.

What to have ready

Academic employers may ask for a teaching or research statement on top of a resume. Send what they ask, and keep the resume itself concrete. For pharma, keep terminology accurate to your actual duties.
