University of Maryland careers

The University of Maryland sits just outside Washington, DC, and it makes that geography central to how it describes itself: proximity to a global center of research, policy, technology, and culture, and the opportunities that come with it. Founded in 1856, it is a public research university with teaching, research, and public service in its stated commitments, along with a supportive and inclusive environment. Its mascot, Testudo, has been part of that identity for generations.
