New at Berkeley?
UC Berkeley is a great place to work, whether you're a faculty member or staff employee. However, you may be wondering how to get started at work or where to find resources in the community.
These web pages will help you navigate the maze. For work-related questions, you may want to talk to your supervisor or dean before setting off on your own. Many departments assist new faculty and staff members with tasks like ordering business cards.
Non-academic staff should be sure to enroll in New Employee Orientation offered by Human Resources. Faculty and academic employees should check the Academic Personnel Office website for information, and the website for Visiting Scholars and Postdoc Affairs.
